Update installation instructions in README.md to use cat. Also add blank
lines at the end (instead of beginning) of template files, since they're
prepended (not appended) to existing files.
See difference of output between print and cat (zlogin having a blank
like at the end):
% print -rn "$(<zlogin)$(<test)"
#
# User configuration sourced by login shells
#
# Initialize zim
[[ -s ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh ]] && source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh# Hello world
% cat zlogin test
#
# User configuration sourced by login shells
#
# Initialize zim
[[ -s ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh ]] && source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh
# Hello world
Fixes #94. Fixes #280. Closes #300

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Installing Zim is easy. If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto),
|
|
*uninstall those first to prevent conflicts*. It can be installed manually by following the instructions below:
|
|
|
|
1. In a Zsh shell, clone the repository:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs:
|
|
```
|
|
for template_file in ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/*; do
|
|
user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}"
|
|
cat ${template_file} ${user_file}(.N) >! ${user_file}
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Set Zsh as the default shell:
|
|
```
|
|
chsh -s =zsh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):
|
|
```
|
|
source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the [available modules][modules] and tweak your `.zshrc` file.
|
|
|
|
Updating
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To update zim, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zmanage update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information about the `zmanage` tool, run `zmanage help`.
|
|
|
|
Uninstalling
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The best way to remove zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
|
|
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
However, there are some **experimental** convenience functions to remove zim:
