What is Zim?
------------
Zim is a Zsh configuration framework with [blazing speed] and modular extensions.
2015-12-17 08:06:26 -05:00
2015-12-18 07:40:11 -05:00
Zim is very easy to customize, and comes with a rich set of modules and features without compromising on speed or functionality!

What does Zim offer?
-----------------
If you're here, it means you want to see the cool shit Zim can do. Check out the [available modules]!

Below is a brief showcase of Zim's features.

### And much more!
2015-12-15 00:12:17 -05:00
Zim has many modules! Enable as many or as few as you'd like.
Installation
------------
Installing Zim is easy:
2015-12-15 00:12:17 -05:00
* With curl:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/develop/install.zsh | zsh
* With wget:
wget -nv -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/develop/install.zsh | zsh
2015-12-15 00:12:17 -05:00
Open a new terminal and you're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to
read about the [available modules] and tweak your `.zshrc` file.
2015-12-15 00:12:17 -05:00
If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto),
*uninstall those first to prevent conflicts*.
Add a plugin mechanism \o/ This is a major change, where Zsh modules/plugins are not git submodules in the Zim repo anymore, but customized and installed separately as individual repositories. The discussion about this started more than 2 years ago in #88. Closes #299. This will allow contributors' modules to live in their own repositories. Closes #33, closes #138, closes #262, closes #277, closes #281. Some discussion topics that I think are worth considering before merging this: - [ ] Reduce the Zim "core" to a single file? - [ ] Simplify installation? With an installation script? (See #182) - [ ] Put the configuration into `.zshrc` instead of a separate `.zimrc`? (See #288) - [ ] Rerun the Eriner/zsh-framework-benchmark? I suggest we create individual GitHub issues/PRs to start the separate discussions. The current code has what, up to this point, I considered to be the best balance between simplicity, execution speed and number of files. One measured decision was to make the initialization of modules depend only on the `':zim' modules` style, keeping it as fast as possible. The `':zim:module' module` style is used to install, update and clean the modules, all operations that happen after the user got his as-blazing-fast-possible shell prompt. Even though I didn't care much about making install or update fast, `xargs` has a nice feature of allowing commands to be executed in parallel with `-P`. I took advantage of that. I've also worked on making the `zimfw` utility give the user some nice (while still minimalistic) output. Also I'm suggesting this as the new name for the `zmanage` tool, since `zimfw` does not shadow the `zim` wiki tool. I strongly recommend you install this from scratch in a separate directory, instead of checking out `develop` in your current Zim installation repo.

### Manual installation
1. Set Zsh as the default shell:
chsh -s =zsh
2. Start a Zsh shell
zsh
3. Copy https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/zimfw/develop/zimfw.zsh to
`${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/zimfw.zsh`.
4. Add the lines in the following templates to the respective dot files in the
`${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}` directory:
* [.zimrc](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/develop/src/templates/zimrc)
* [.zlogin](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/develop/src/templates/zlogin)
* [.zshrc](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/develop/src/templates/zshrc)
5. Install the modules defined in `.zimrc` and build the static `init.zsh` script:
source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/zimfw.zsh install
Usage
-----
### zmodule
Add `zmodule` calls to your `.zimrc` file to define the modules to be loaded.
The modules are loaded in the same order they are defined. Add:
zmodule <url> [-n|--name <module_name>] [options]
where &lt;url&gt; is the required repository URL or path. The following formats
2019-12-04 07:22:17 -05:00
are equivalent: `name`, `zimfw/name`, `https://github.com/zimfw/name.git`.
By default, the module name is the last component in the &lt;url&gt;. Use the
2019-12-04 07:22:17 -05:00
`-n`|`--name` &lt;module_name&gt; option to set a custom module name.

module. Overrides the branch option.
* `-z`|`--frozen`: Don't install or update the module.

* `-f`|`--fpath` &lt;path&gt;: Add specified path to `fpath`. The path is relative to
the module root directory. Default: `functions`, if the subdirectory exists.
* `-a`|`--autoload` &lt;function_name&gt;: Autoload specified function. Default: all
valid names inside all the module specified `fpath` paths.
* `-s`|`--source` &lt;file_path&gt;: Source specified file. The file path is relative
to the module root directory. Default: the file with largest size matching
`{init.zsh|module_name.{zsh|plugin.zsh|zsh-theme|sh}}`, if any exists.
* `-d`|`--disabled`: Don't use or clean the module.

To update your modules, run:
zimfw update
To upgrade Zim, run:
zimfw upgrade
For more information about the `zimfw` tool, run `zimfw` with no parameters.
Uninstalling
------------
The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshrc` and `~/.zlogin`.
