Awesome
Zgenom Extension for creating plugins inline
Big thanks to zoritle for the idea and initial implementation.
- Add plugin configuration right next to loading the plugins.
- Generate plugins by evaluating commands (e.g. zoxide init script) and have a faster startup time
You need to use it with zgenom.
Example
source "${HOME}/.zgenom/zgenom.zsh"
zgenom autoupdate --background
if ! zgenom saved; then
zgenom load jandamm/zgenom-ext-eval
# Create a plugin which greats the world and name the plugin 'welcome'
zgenom eval --name welcome echo hello world
# Load zsh history search and create bindings for it
zgenom load zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search
zgenom eval <<EOF
bindkey '^[[A' history-substring-search-up
bindkey '^[[B' history-substring-search-down
EOF
# Create an zoxide initialization file
zgenom eval --name zoxide <<(zoxide init zsh)
zgenom save
fi
Note: Since this does not clone a git repository the script is not updated
when zgenom update
is executed. It is updated when a new shell is started
where init.zsh
is missing. This shouldn't be an issue using
zgenom autoupdate --background
.
Options
--name
: name the plugin. If not provided a hash is used instead.
