Is it possible to have an install route without the need for sudo?

The install script simply creates a symlink in /usr/bin. Without sudo, it could create in another folder, but I'm not sure what's the best choice. Any ideas?

Merge pull request #101 from alxbl/omzsh-plugin
d9a7486 
Thanks for making this project, it's really cool! I'd been looking for something like this for a while.
I noticed that your shell widget is pretty much stand-alone and I wanted to be able to use navi directly as an [oh-my-zsh][1] plugin, so I added a few things to the widget and moved it to the root of the repository so that the repo can be cloned straight into the `plugins` folder and detected when added in the plugin array.

I think it should be similarly simple with `fish`, but I'm not too familiar with that shell, so I'll leave it to someone else. The `navi.plugin.zsh` file should still be sourcable as a widget for people not using oh-my-zsh, so technically the `shell/` directory could be removed and `navi widget`updated to use the new file.

## What's included
- oh-my-zsh plugin
- install documentation
- no PATH modification required when used with OMZ
- Added bonus: #51 is kind of unofficially addressed by this (assuming one uses OMZ)

## Future Work
- Pre-filter using `$BUFFER` when hitting `Alt+G` to get something similar to `navi query`
- Update `navi widget zsh` to use `navi.plugin.zsh`

Let me know what you think. I'm working on a few cheatsheets, and will open PRs for those as they become ready.

Cheers,
Alex

@quadebroadwell if you use oh-my-zsh, checkout the PR that I submitted yesterday, it will let you use navi as a widget without having to do a system-wide install.

Alternatively, you can just git clone navi and manually set your PATH to include navi's directory in your dotfiles.

# .zprofile or similar
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/navi/repo"

You can then manually update using git pull.
