usage

Add this to your ~/.zshrc:

. <(zr frmendes/geometry junegunn/fzf.git/shell/key-bindings.zsh)

A bit more complex example, that only generates when .zshrc has been updated:

# Generate new ~/.config/zr.zsh if it does not exist or if ~/.zshrc has been changed
if [[ ! -f ~/.config/zr.zsh ]] || [[ ~/.zshrc -nt ~/.config/zr.zsh ]]; then
  zr \
    frmendes/geometry \
    jedahan/geometry-hydrate \
    junegunn/fzf.git/shell/key-bindings.zsh \
    > ~/.config/zr.zsh
fi

source ~/.config/zr.zsh

identifiers

zr supports four identifier formats. The last format requires .git as a delimeter.

formatresolves to
author/name*.zsh from https://github.com/author/name
author/name/file.zshfile.zsh from https://github.com/author/name
https://gitlab.com/a/plugin*.zsh from https://gitlab.com/a/plugin
https://gitlab.com/a/plugin.git/file.zshfile.zsh from https://gitlab.com/a/plugin.git. The .git is used as a delimeter, and is required.

speed

The following two benchmarks show on a 2024 14" macbook pro m4

$ hyperfine --warmup 3 \
  --command-name "generate shell script" \
    'zsh -d -f -l -c "source benchmark.zsh && zrinit && exit"' \
  --command-name "generate and load shell script" \
    'zsh -d -f -l -c "source benchmark.zsh && . <(zrinit) && exit"'

Benchmark 1: generate shell script
  Time (mean ± σ):       8.2 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 3.4 ms, System: 3.7 ms]
  Range (min … max):     7.2 ms …  12.1 ms    258 runs

Benchmark 2: generate and load shell script
  Time (mean ± σ):      42.1 ms ±   2.6 ms    [User: 22.4 ms, System: 58.2 ms]
  Range (min … max):    38.7 ms …  51.2 ms    54 runs
