Follow symlinks

[ckotte]

Could you replace find "${ZSH_CUSTOM}" -type d -name .git | while read d with find -L "${ZSH_CUSTOM}" -type d -name .git | while read d?

I have all my plugins and themes symlinked to a folder that's synced (via Syncthing) to my other computers.

~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins> ll

Without -L, upgrade_oh_my_zsh_custom cannot find any of the git repositories.

I tested the updated find command with symlinked plugins and plugins in directories in the same plugins directory. It could find all repositories. Therefore, adding -L should be no issue for users without symlinks.

If you want to make it absolutely save, you could introduce a variable which overrides the behavior.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a good idea. Even though I was worrying about different variants of find out there maybe not having the -L switch, it seems to work just find even on my Mac.

Thanks for your suggestion! :)
