2. Only put one plugin or theme in a repository. This makes using it a simple `git clone` for [oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh) users, and simpler for other framework users as well - they won't have to specify a subdirectory, just username/reponame. 2.

3. Only oh-my-zsh sets the `${ZSH_CUSTOM}` variable. Relying on your plugin being in `${ZSH_CUSTOM}/yourPluginName` will make your plugin not work with anything but oh-my-zsh. `$(dirname $0)` will tell you what directory your plugin is actually installed in, is cross-framework and won't break when a user inevitably renames your plugin directory. 3.

4. Don't assume your plugin will be checked out into a directory with the same name you gave the plugin. This is another case where `$(dirname ${0})` will work and `${ZSH_CUSTOM}/hardcoded-directory-name` will fail miserably. 4.
