⚡ Zap is a minimal zsh plugin manager

Prerequisites

  • ZSH
  • a nerd font (optional)

To get your nerd font check out getNF project or visit NerdFonts site.

Install

zsh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zap-zsh/zap/master/install.zsh) --branch release-v1

Zap works on Linux, macOS, Windows (within WSL), Android (within Termux)

Example usage

Add the following to your .zshrc

# Example install of plugins
plug "zap-zsh/supercharge"
plug "zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions"

# Example install of a plugin pinned to specifc commit or branch, just pass the git reference
plug "zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting" "122dc46"

# Example install of a theme
plug "zap-zsh/zap-prompt"

# Example install of a zsh completion
plug "esc/conda-zsh-completion"

You can also use Zap to install custom plugins or source custom files present on your local filesystem. A file descriptor which points to a directory is treated as a plugin, versus a regular file. For example:

# Example install of a local plugin
plug "$HOME/plugins/my-custom-prompt"

# Example sourcing of local files
plug "$HOME/.config/zsh/aliases.zsh"
plug "$HOME/.config/zsh/exports.zsh"

By default Zap when installing a plugin will clone a GitHub repository using a HTTPS web URL, if you require to be able to install from a private GitHub or from a different git server (for example GitLab) you can provide a different URL prefix to be used. For example:

# Example globally setting the prefix for Zap to git clone using an SSH key
export ZAP_GIT_PREFIX="git@github.com:"
plug "zap-zsh/private-repo"

# Example git clone using GitLab for a single plugin
ZAP_GIT_PREFIX="https://gitlab.com/" plug "user/repo"

It is possible to call plug in any interactive shell session to source a file or to download and source a plugin for that particular session.

⚠️ If you call plug outside your .zshrc file, the plugin you sourced will not be sourced at the next shell reload.

Commands

Zap provided commands for updating and cleaning up plugins

  • To update plugins or Zap:

    zap update self # Update the Zap installation
    zap update plugins # Update all your plugins but not Zap
    zap update all # Update both the Zap installation and its plugins
  • To list all plugins you are using:

    zap list
  • To remove plugins you are no longer using:

    zap clean

Uninstall

To uninstall Zap, when currently active, execute the following:

rm -rf "$ZAP_DIR"

When not currently active, execute the following:

rm -rf "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/zap"

Notes

For sourcing local files use $HOME instead of ~ when giving a full path to the file.
