Installation
------------
Installing Zim is easy:
* With curl:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
* 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
read about the [available modules] and tweak your `~/.zshrc` file.
If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto),
*uninstall those first to prevent conflicts*.
### Manual installation
1. Set Zsh as the default shell:
chsh -s $(which zsh)
2. Add the lines in the following templates to the respective dot files:
* [~/.zshenv](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/master/src/templates/zshenv)
* [~/.zshrc](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/master/src/templates/zshrc)
* [~/.zlogin](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/master/src/templates/zlogin)
* [~/.zimrc](https://github.com/zimfw/install/blob/master/src/templates/zimrc)
3. Copy https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/releases/latest/download/zimfw.zsh to
`~/.zim/zimfw.zsh`.
4. Install the modules defined in `~/.zimrc` and build the initialization scripts:
zsh ~/.zim/zimfw.zsh install
Usage
-----
### zmodule
<pre>
Usage: <strong>zmodule</strong> &lt;url&gt; [<strong>-n</strong>|<strong>--name</strong> &lt;module_name&gt;] [options]
Add <strong>zmodule</strong> calls to your <strong>~/.zimrc</strong> file to define the modules to be initialized. The modules are
initialized in the same order they are defined.
&lt;url&gt; Module absolute path or repository URL. The following URL formats
are equivalent: <strong>name</strong>, <strong>zimfw/name</strong>, <strong>https://github.com/zimfw/name.git</strong>.
<strong>-n</strong>|<strong>--name</strong> &lt;module_name&gt; Set a custom module name. Default: the last component in the &lt;url&gt;.
Repository options:
<strong>-b</strong>|<strong>--branch</strong> &lt;branch_name&gt; Use specified branch when installing and updating the module.
Overrides the tag option. Default: the repository's default branch.
<strong>-t</strong>|<strong>--tag</strong> &lt;tag_name&gt; Use specified tag when installing and updating the module.
Overrides the branch option.
<strong>-z</strong>|<strong>--frozen</strong> Don't install or update the module.
Initialization options:
<strong>-f</strong>|<strong>--fpath</strong> &lt;path&gt; Add specified path to fpath. The path is relative to the module
root directory. Default: <strong>functions</strong>, if the subdirectory exists.
<strong>-a</strong>|<strong>--autoload</strong> &lt;func_name&gt; Autoload specified function. Default: all valid names inside the
module's specified fpath paths.
<strong>-s</strong>|<strong>--source</strong> &lt;file_path&gt; Source specified file. The file path is relative to the module root
directory. Default: the file with largest size matching
<strong>{init.zsh,module_name.{zsh,plugin.zsh,zsh-theme,sh}}</strong>, if any exist.
<strong>-c</strong>|<strong>--cmd</strong> &lt;command&gt; Execute specified command. Occurrences of the <strong>{}</strong> placeholder in the
command are substituted by the module root directory path.
<strong>-s 'script.zsh'</strong> and <strong>-c 'source {}/script.zsh'</strong> are equivalent.
<strong>-d</strong>|<strong>--disabled</strong> Don't initialize or uninstall the module.
</pre>
