PMS Manager
The PMS Manager is what you will use most of the time when you want to interact with the PMS framework. This allows you to do things such as enable/disable plugins and switch to different themes.
You can run pms help
at any time to get information on all the commands the PMS Manager supports.
Managing Plugins
Plugins modify shell behaviour such as loading auto-completion scripts, adding aliases, or modifying shell options. Plugins are managed using the pms plugin
command.

Enabling Plugins
Disabling Plugins
Managing Themes
Themes will modify how you shell looks. These are things such as colors and usually includes a kick ass command prompt.
Note Some themes may enable or disable PMS plugins for functionality. An example of this would be a theme that would require the "git-prompt" plugin so it has access to that functionality. This is done for you so you don't need to do this by hand {: .notice--warning}

This will show you all the available themes you are able to switch to.
