Ztupide

A simple and fast zsh plugin manager. It uses zcompile and async loading to speed up your shell startup time.

Installation

Place this at the top of your .zshrc file and before compinit (or you won't have ztupide completions):

ZTUPIDE_DIR=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/ztupide
[ -f ${ZTUPIDE_DIR}/ztupide.zsh ] || git -C ${ZTUPIDE_DIR:h} clone https://github.com/mpostaire/ztupide.git
source ${ZTUPIDE_DIR}/ztupide.zsh

This will source ztupide after installing it if necessary.

Configuration

You can set variables to change the behaviour of ztupide (they must be set before you source ztupide):

Variable	Effect
ZTUPIDE_PLUGIN_PATH	Plugins installation path (default: ~/.zsh/plugins)
ZTUPIDE_AUTOUPDATE	Check for updates interval in seconds (no autoupdates if unset).
ZTUPIDE_DISABLE_ASYNC	Disable plugin async loading if this is set (async loading is enabled by default)

Usage

Ztupide supports "local" and "remote" plugins and must use the .plugin.zsh or .zsh-theme extension. Local plugins are manually installed in the ZTUPIDE_PLUGIN_PATH while remote plugins are git repositories cloned from github.

Use ztupide load user/plugin_name to load a remote plugin (only github is supported) and ztupide load plugin_name to load a local plugin. You can use async mode like this: ztupide load --async user/plugin_name. Plugins loaded in async mode are guaranteed to be sourced in the same order as they are loaded. You can also add callbacks after the plugin is loaded like this: ztupide load --async user/plugin_name callback1 callback2 ....

To remove a plugin use ztupide unload plugin_name. A prompt will ask for confirmation if it's a local plugin.

To update ztupide and all its plugins use ztupide update.

Example

ZTUPIDE_DIR=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/ztupide
[ -f ${ZTUPIDE_DIR}/ztupide.zsh ] || git -C ${ZTUPIDE_DIR:h} clone https://github.com/mpostaire/ztupide.git
ZTUPIDE_AUTOUPDATE=604800 # autoupdate interval of 7 days
source ${ZTUPIDE_DIR}/ztupide.zsh

# load remote plugin in async mode
ztupide load --async zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting

# load local plugin installed in $ZTUPIDE_PLUGIN_PATH/zsh-colored-ls
ztupide load zsh-colored-ls

# execute compinit as a callback after the completion functions are finished being
# sourced or you can load without the --async mode and put compinit after this line
ztupide load --async zsh-users/zsh-completions 'autoload -U compinit && compinit'

# set variable before loading its plugin
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_USE_ASYNC=1
# it's better to load zsh-autosuggestions after compinit
# this will also call _zsh_autosuggest_start after the plugin is loaded.
ztupide load --async zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions '_zsh_autosuggest_start'

# Here fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions may still be
# loading but it's guaranteed that fast-syntax-highlighting will be
# sourced before zsh-autosuggestions.
