ZPLUG-AS(5)

✨ NAME ✨

zplug-as — bestie, this is the page where you decide whether your package gets registered as a plugin or as a command 💅

(Oh also, hi, this is a section 5 page from the ZPLUG Manual, and we're gonna hold hands through it, okay? 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zplug "username/reponame", as:plugin

The word package refers to the string in the format: "username/reponame".

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — by using the as tag, you get to choose whether the package you want to install gets installed as a plugin or as a command. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Your call, your rules, main character energy 👑

💖 Table 1. zplug as tag 💖

Not me putting a table in a group chat, but here are the values you can pass:

• Possible Values — plugin, command, theme
• Default value — plugin

So if you don't say anything, it just assumes plugin. Lowkey respectful of it honestly 🙈

---

Also!! (and this is the good part) — by using the zstyle command, you can change that default value yourself:

$ zstyle ":zplug:tag" as command

Periodt. Now command is your new normal ✨
