What is Zim?
------------
Zim is a Zsh configuration framework with [blazing speed] and modular extensions.
Zim is a Zsh configuration framework that bundles a [plugin manager](#usage),
useful [modules], and a wide variety of [themes], without compromising on [speed].
Zim bundles useful [modules], a wide variety of [themes], and plenty of
customizability without compromising on speed.

Below is a brief showcase of Zim's features.
### Speed

For more details, see [this wiki entry][blazing speed].
### Modules
Zim has many [modules available][modules]. Enable as many or as few as you'd like.
### Themes
To preview some of the available themes, check the [themes page][themes].
### Degit
Install modules without requiring `git` using our degit tool. It's faster and
lighter than `git`. See the [zmodule](#zmodule-usage) usage below.

Installing Zim is easy. You can choose either the automatic or manual method below:
* With curl:
### Automatic installation
This will install a predefined set of modules and a theme for you.
* With `curl`:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
* With wget:
* With `wget`:
wget -nv -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
Open a new terminal and you're done. Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to
tweak your `~/.zshrc` file, and to also check the available [modules] and [themes]
you can add to your `~/.zimrc`.

to tweak your [`~/.zshrc`](#set-up-zshrc) file, and to also check the available

1. Set Zsh as the default shell, if you haven't done so already:
```zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)

chsh -s $(which zsh)
2. [Set up your `~/.zshrc` file](#set-up-zshrc)

3. Restart your terminal to automatically install the `zimfw` command line utility,
install the modules defined in `~/.zimrc`, and build the initialization scripts.
</details>
#### Set up `~/.zshrc`
Add the lines below to your `~/.zshrc` file, in the following order:
1. To use our `degit` tool by default to install modules:
```zsh
zstyle ':zim:zmodule' use 'degit'
````
This is optional, and only required if you don't have `git` installed (yes,
Zim works even without `git`!)
2. To set where the directory used by Zim will be located:
```zsh
ZIM_HOME=~/.zim
```
The value of `ZIM_HOME` can be any directory your user has write access to.
You can even set it to a cache directory like `${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/zim` or
`~/.cache/zim` if you also include the step below, that automatically
downloads the `zimfw` plugin manager.
3. To automatically download the `zimfw` plugin manager if missing:
```zsh
# Download zimfw plugin manager if missing.
if [[ ! -e ${ZIM_HOME}/zimfw.zsh ]]; then
curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o ${ZIM_HOME}/zimfw.zsh \
https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/releases/latest/download/zimfw.zsh
fi
```
Or if you use `wget` instead of `curl`:
```zsh
# Download zimfw plugin manager if missing.
if [[ ! -e ${ZIM_HOME}/zimfw.zsh ]]; then
mkdir -p ${ZIM_HOME} && wget -nv -O ${ZIM_HOME}/zimfw.zsh \
https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/releases/latest/download/zimfw.zsh
fi
```
This is optional. If you choose to not include this step, you should manually
download the `zimfw.zsh` script once and keep it at `${ZIM_HOME}`.
4. To automatically install missing modules and update the initialization script
if missing or outdated:
```zsh
# Install missing modules, and update ${ZIM_HOME}/init.zsh if missing or outdated.
if [[ ! ${ZIM_HOME}/init.zsh -nt ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zimrc ]]; then
source ${ZIM_HOME}/zimfw.zsh init -q
fi
```
This step is optional, but highly recommended. If you choose to not include
it, you must remember to manually run `zimfw install` every time after you
update your [`~/.zimrc`](#create-zimrc) file.
5. To source the initialization script, that initializes your modules:
```zsh
# Initialize modules.
source ${ZIM_HOME}/init.zsh
```
#### Create `~/.zimrc`
You must create your `.zimrc` file at `~/.zimrc`, if the `ZDOTDIR` environment
variable is not defined. Otherwise, it must be at `${ZDOTDIR}/.zimrc`. It's
referred to as `~/.zimrc` in the documentation for the sake of simplicity.
You can start with just:
```zsh
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
```
Or, if you also want to use completions:
```zsh
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-completions --fpath src
zmodule completion
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
```
The [completion] module calls `compinit` for you. You should remove any
`compinit` calls from your `~/.zshrc` when you use this module. The modules will
be initialized in the order they are defined, and [completion] must be
initialized after all modules that add completion definitions, so it comes after
[zsh-users/zsh-completions].
See the [`zmodule` usage](#zmodule) below for more examples on how to use it to
define the modules you want to use.
Usage
-----
The `zimfw` plugin manager builds an initialization script, at `${ZIM_HOME}/init.zsh`,
that initializes the modules you defined in your `~/.zimrc` file.
Add `zmodule` calls to your `~/.zimrc` file to define the modules to be
initialized, then run `zimfw install` to install them.
The `~/.zimrc` file must contain a `zmodule` call for each module you want to
use. The modules will be initialized in the order they are defined.
The `~/.zimrc` file is not sourced during Zsh startup, and it's only used to
configure the `zimfw` plugin manager.

The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshenv`, `~/.zshrc` and `~/.zlogin`.
