Eric Nielsen d2c1e613ae [git] Allow aliases prefix to be something else than g 
There were a couple of reports before about aliases shadowing commands
in #59 and #139. And I was impressed to check how many actually shadow existing commands using Ubuntu's command-not-found:

    'gb'  : apt install gb
    'gc'  : apt install graphviz
    'gcp' : apt install gcp
    'gcs' : apt install opengcs
    'gcv' : apt install scotch
    'gdc' : apt install gdc
    'gfm' : apt install gfm
    'gid' : apt install id-utils
    'gld' : apt install postfix-gld
    'gm'  : apt install graphicsmagick
    'gmt' : apt install gmt
    'gp'  : apt install pari-gp
    'gpa' : apt install gpa
    'gpp' : apt install gpp
    'gpt' : apt install gpt
    'grc' : apt install grc
    'gri' : apt install gri
    'gs'  : apt install ghostscript
    'gsl' : apt install generator-scripting-language
    'gss' : apt install libgss-dev
    'gt'  : apt install genometools
    'gtv' : apt install smpeg-gtv
    'gwc' : apt install geneweb
    'gwd' : apt install geneweb

The ability to customize the prefix fixes this issue. Picking `G` for
example is a good one (Vim's Fugitive uses upper case `G` in the
beginning of is commands, to mention another place where it's used).

Closes zimfw/git#1

And much more!

Zim has many modules! Enable as many or as few as you'd like.

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. Start a Zsh shell:

    zsh

  2. Clone the repository:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim

  3. 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}.tmp && mv ${user_file}{.tmp,}
done

  4. Set Zsh as the default shell:

    chsh -s =zsh

  5. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):

    source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin

  6. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the available 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 and ~/.zlogin.

However, there are some experimental convenience functions to remove Zim:

NOTE: This functionality is experimental!
