Want help with the complete zmodule
usage?
Usage: zmodule <url> [-n|--name <module_name>] [-r|--root <path>] [options]
Add zmodule calls to your ~/.zimrc file to define the modules to be initialized. The initiali-
zation will be done in the same order it's defined.
<url> Module absolute path or repository URL. The following URL formats
are equivalent: foo, zimfw/foo, https://github.com/zimfw/foo.git.
If an absolute path is given, the module is considered externally
installed and won't be installed or updated by zimfw.
-n|--name <module_name> Set a custom module name. Default: the last component in <url>.
Slashes can be used inside the name to organize the module into
subdirectories. The module will be installed at
${ZIM_HOME}/<module_name>.
-r|--root <path> Relative path to the module root.
Per-module options:
-b|--branch <branch_name> Use specified branch when installing and updating the module.
Overrides the tag option. Default: the repository default branch.
-t|--tag <tag_name> Use specified tag when installing and updating the module. Over-
rides the branch option.
-u|--use <tool_name> Install and update the module using the defined tool. Default is
either defined by zstyle ':zim:zmodule' use '<tool_name>', or git
if none is provided. The tools available are:
git uses the git command. Local changes are preserved on updates.
degit uses curl or wget, and currently only works with GitHub
URLs. Modules install faster and take less disk space. Local
changes are lost on updates. Git submodules are not supported.
mkdir creates an empty directory. The <url> is only used to set
the module name. Use the -c|--cmd or --on-pull options to execute
the desired command to generate the module files.
--no-submodules Don't install or update git submodules.
-z|--frozen Don't install or update the module.
The per-module options above are carried over multiple zmodule calls for the same module.
Modules are uniquely identified by their name.
Per-module-root options:
--if <test> Will only initialize module root if specified test returns a zero
exit status. The test is evaluated at every new terminal startup.
--if-command <cmd_name> Will only initialize module root if specified external command is
available. This is evaluated at every new terminal startup.
Equivalent to --if '(( ${+commands[<cmd_name>]} ))'.
--on-pull <command> Execute command after installing or updating the module. The com-
mand is executed in the module root directory.
-d|--disabled Don't initialize the module root or uninstall the module.
The per-module-root options above are carried over multiple zmodule calls for the same mod-
ule root.
Per-call initialization options:
-f|--fpath <path> Will add specified path to fpath. The path is relative to the
module root directory. Default: functions, if the subdirectory
exists and is non-empty.
-a|--autoload <func_name> Will autoload specified function. Default: all valid names inside
the functions subdirectory, if any.
-s|--source <file_path> Will source specified file. The path is relative to the module
root directory. Default: init.zsh, if a non-empty functions sub-
directory exists, else the largest of the files matching the glob
(init.zsh|<name>.(zsh|plugin.zsh|zsh-theme|sh)), if any.
<name> in the glob is resolved to the last component of the mod-
ule name, or the last component of the path to the module root.
-c|--cmd <command> Will execute specified command. Occurrences of the {} placeholder
in the command are substituted by the module root directory path.
I.e., -s 'foo.zsh' and -c 'source {}/foo.zsh' are equivalent.
Setting any per-call initialization option above will disable the default values from the
other per-call initialization options, so only your provided values will be used. I.e. these
values are either all automatic, or all manual in each zmodule call. To use default values
and also provided values, use separate zmodule calls.
### zimfw
The Zim plugin manager:
* Added new modules to `~/.zimrc`? Run `zimfw install`.
* Removed modules from `~/.zimrc`? Run `zimfw uninstall`.
* Want to update your modules to their latest revisions? Run `zimfw update`.
* Want to upgrade zimfw to its latest version? Run `zimfw upgrade`.
* For more information about the zimfw plugin manager, run `zimfw help`.
Settings
--------
Set the path of the directory used by zimfw with the `ZIM_HOME` environment
variable:
ZIM_HOME=~/.zim
By default, the zimfw plugin manager configuration file must be at `~/.zimrc`,
if the `ZDOTDIR` environment variable is not defined. Otherwise, it must be at
`${ZDOTDIR}/.zimrc`. You can customize its full path and name with the
`ZIM_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable:
ZIM_CONFIG_FILE=~/.config/zsh/zimrc
Modules are installed using `git` by default. If you don't have `git`
installed, or if you want to take advantage of our degit tool for faster and
lighter module installations, you can set degit as the default tool with:
zstyle ':zim:zmodule' use 'degit'
By default, zimfw will check if it has a new version available every 30 days. If
the `zimfw.zsh` file cannot be upgraded, either because your user does not have
write access to it, or because it was sourced from a symlink, then this will be
disabled. This can be manually disabled with:
zstyle ':zim' disable-version-check yes
Uninstalling
------------
The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshenv`, `~/.zshrc` and `~/.zlogin`.
