zinit-annex-submods

An annex (i.e., an extension for Zinit – more information) that allows Zinit to clone additional submodules when installing a plugin or snippet. The submodules are then automatically updated on the zinit update ... command.

Installation

Load as a plugin that installs the annex within Zinit:

zinit light zinit-zsh/zinit-annex-submods

After this, you can use the submods ice.

Usage

Syntax

submods'{user}/{plugin} -> {output directory}'

# Load the `zsh-autosuggestions' plugin via `autosuggestions' Prezto module
zinit ice svn submods'zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions -> external'
zinit snippet PZTM::autosuggestions
