As of now the zinit installer defaults to installing stuff under $HOME/.zinit/bin - which is a bit weird (the bin part especially) and clutters the users $HOME.

A more sensible default would be $XDG_DATA_HOME/zinit (ie. $HOME/.local/share/zinit).

Related to #28

Tasks:

  • update zinit installer to install to XDG_DATA_HOME
  • update documentation
  • update the migration wiki page

There are some env vars you can tweak to add this behavior BUT we should have sensible defaults.
