A simple plugin manager for zsh. Features:

• Auto-updates all plugins.
• Auto-updates itself.
• Configurable time interval for both auto-updaters.

First, clone the repository and execute the installation script using the following command:

git clone "https://github.com/amt911/zsh-mgr.git" ~/.config/zsh/zsh-mgr && ~/.config/zsh/zsh-mgr/install-zsh-mgr.zsh

If the installation failed for some reason, execute the script again using:

~/.config/zsh/zsh-mgr/install-zsh-mgr.zsh

Note: You can add your own scripts to the following location: ~/.config/zsh/ and source them in your zsh config file.

You can manually clone the repo to your desired location and add the following lines to your .zshrc file:

export ZSH_CONFIG_DIR="parent/folder/from/repo"
export ZSH_PLUGIN_DIR="your/desired/location"
export TIME_THRESHOLD="your desired time in seconds"
export MGR_TIME_THRESHOLD="your desired time in seconds"

source parent/folder/from/repo/zsh-mgr/zsh-mgr.zsh

IMPORTANT: If you want to use the tilde ("~"), DON'T put it between double quotes, otherwise the scripts will fail.

You can add your favourite plugins adding this line to your .zshrc file:

add_plugin "author/plugin-name"

You can add extra flags to the plugin in this way:

add_plugin "author/plugin-name" "--flag1 --flag2"

You can add a plugin from a private repository like this:

add_plugin_private "author/plugin-name" "--flag1 --flag2"

To check for the next zsh-mgr update date, use check_mgr_update_date, or simply use ck_mgr_plugin to check both zsh-mgr and plugins update date.

To check for the next update date of plugins, use check_plugins_update_date, or (once again) use ck_mgr_plugin to check both.

Every week (or at your set time interval), when a new terminal is opened, the plugin manager will update all installed plugins.

You can force the update process by issuing the following command: update_plugins

The following features are planned to be implemented in the following commits:

• Updater for the plugin manager itself.
• Auto-update for the plugin manager.
• Delete unused plugins.
• Change update settings:
  • Disable auto-update.
  • Change updates frequency.
