Zsh Configuration

My complete Zsh configuration as a Zsh plugin. For an empty starting config that follows the same organization, switch to the minimal branch.

Note that versioned released are cut from the minimal branch, and changes between those releases are documented in the CHANGELOG. The master branch represents my current Zsh environment, and is intended to remain unversioned.

Description

This configuration system works as a meta-plugin: all desired Zsh plugins are loaded from plugins.zsh using zgen. Overall configuration then follows a normal plugin structure.

Display a quick reference of custom binds, aliases, and functions defined by this plugin with

$ zshrc

Installation

Automatic Install

You can install this via the command-line with either curl

$ curl -L https://git.io/vJAEY | sh

or wget

$ wget https://git.io/vJAEY -O - | sh

Manual Install

1. Install zgen to ~/.zgen.zsh/zgen.zsh.
2. Create ~/.zshrc with

# rxrc/zshrc

branch="${ZSHRC_BRANCH:-master}"

source "${HOME}/.zgen.zsh/zgen.zsh"

if [[ -d "${HOME}/.zgen/local/zshrc-${branch}" ]]; then
  source "${HOME}/.zgen/local/zshrc-${branch}/plugins.zsh"
elif [[ -d "${HOME}/.zgen/rxrc/zshrc-${branch}" ]]; then
  source "${HOME}/.zgen/rxrc/zshrc-${branch}/plugins.zsh"
else
  zgen load rxrc/zshrc plugin $branch
  zgen update
  echo
  echo '  ✔ Installed zshrc as zgen plugin!'
  echo
  echo '  ➤ Press any key to exit this shell.'
  echo '  ➤ Open a new shell to finish setup.'
  read -s -n 1
  exit 0
fi

Updating

Updating is handled via the normal zgen update commands.

Here is an example of a Zsh function that will provide a one-step update:

# Upgrade zshrc.
function zshupg () {
  if ! [[ -d $HOME/.zgen.zsh ]]; then
    echo 'zgen is not installed.'
    exit 1
  fi

  zgen selfupdate
  zgen update
}

promptline.vim

This configuration will load ~/.promptline.sh which can be generated or updated using promptline.vim by running :PromptlineSnapshot! ~/.promptline.sh from Vim.

Customization

You can customize this configuration or manage your own in the same way.

1. Clone or fork this. If you prefer a clean start, clone the minimal branch: it has the same structure and development tools but with a very minimal configuration. Tagged releases are based on that branch.
2. Replace any instance of rxrc/zshrc with the path to your repository's location. If you do not host this on GitHub, you may need to adjust the repository path appropriately.
3. Customize package.json.
4. Update install.sh on the gh-pages branch.
5. Update the urls for the install script in this README.

Here is an example of a command you can use to make replacements:

$ git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/rxrc\/zshrc/username\/zshrc/g'

Development

You can use Gulp to switch to development mode which will configure zgen to use the development directory as the plugin path.

First, follow the normal install steps if you haven't already. Then, install the development dependences via npm with

$ npm install

Enter development mode with

$ npm start

Switch out of development mode with

$ npm stop
