💡 Wiki
How it works
Exposing a binary program without modifying $PATH
– z-a-linkbin
will automatically create a hard or soft link to the binary in $ZPFX/bin
exposing the program to the command line as if it were being placed in $PATH
.
The command can then be accessed normally – not only in the live Zsh session, but also from any Zsh script.
The ice-modifier lbin''
provided by the annex creates links
for binaries and scripts.
It creates the link
that calls the actual binary.
The link is created always under the same, standard and single $PATH
entry: $ZPFX/bin
The optional preceding
!
flag means create a soft link instead of a hard link.
Example:
zi ice from'gh-r' lbin'!fzf'
zi load junegunn/fzf
Check the output:
ls -l $ZPFX/bin/ | awk '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1),$NF}'
fzf --version
The ice can contain globs. It will expand these when searching for the binary.
Example:
zi ice from'gh-r' lbin'**fzf -> myfzf'
zi load junegunn/fzf
Check the output:
ls $ZPFX/bin
myfzf --version
The ice can be empty. It will then try to create the link:
- trailing component of the
id_as
ice, e.g.:id_as'exts/git-my'
→ it will check if a filegit-my
exists and if yes, create the linkgit-my
, - the plugin name, e.g.: for
paulirish/git-open
it'll check if a filegit-open
exists and if yes, create the linkgit-open
, - trailing component of the snippet URL,
- for any alphabetically first executable file.
Above also applies if just
!
were passed.
This repository compatible with ZI.
Have the best and leave the rest!
