zsh-brew

A zsh plugin for the Homebrew package manager.

Install

Using the :zap: Zap minimal zsh plugin manager, add the following to your .zshrc

# Install plugin
plug "wintermi/zsh-brew"

# Load and initialise completion system
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit -d "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdump"

If you do not have the brew install directory already within your $PATH, be sure to include this plugin before any additional plugins that use applications installed via brew (e.g. eza, starship, etc.).

Prerequisite Checks

A check will be performed to verify that brew has been installed:

• brew - Homebrew - The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

Completions

This plugin will ensure that any brew installed package which contains shell completions and site functions have been correctly configured for zsh to utilise, though we no longer execute the compinit directly within the plugin to reduce the overall zsh shell startup time. Therefore we recommend you add the following to your .zshrc after all plugins have been loaded and try to ensure that it is executed only once.

# Load and initialise completion system
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit -d "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdump"
