ZPLUG-LOAD(1)

✨ zplug-load ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ZPLUG Manual — this is the zplug-load page and it's literally the moment your shell finally gets to use all the stuff you installed 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

zplug-load — sources your installed plugins and yeets their installed commands onto your $PATH so you can actually call them 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

zplug load [--verbose]

real quick, bestie, a note on vocab: the word package here means a string in exactly this format: "username/reponame". that's it, that's the shape. no cap 📦

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

It lets you use a package that's already been installed, in the current shell. that's the whole vibe check. you installed it, now you get to live in it ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --verbose — be verbose, babe. it says more stuff. that's the tea 🍵

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

Installation check — wanna know if it all worked? just run:

$ zplug load

and see what happens, queen 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

  • ZPLUG_LOADFILE — defaults to $ZPLUG_HOME/packages.zsh. this file is what zplug uses to add packages from the command line. it's giving very useful when you wanna isolate your zplug configs away from your .zshrc, fr fr. and pookie, listen: you do NOT have to add packages from the command line to use this feature — you can just manually edit this file yourself and it'll work just fine! 🙈
  • ZPLUG_USE_CACHE — defaults to true. when this is true, zplug uses a cache file to speed up the loading process, because nobody has time to wait around 💀. that cache file lives at $ZPLUG_CACHE_DIR (which is $ZPLUG_HOME/.cache by default). wanna clear the cache? run zplug clear, or do this little number:
$ ZPLUG_USE_CACHE=false zplug load
  • ZPLUG_CACHE_DIR — defaults to $ZPLUG_HOME/.cache. this is where the cache gets saved. for example, you can set this to $HOME/.cache/zplug/cache to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification ✨ (yes bestie, being tidy is iconic)
