ZPLUG-FROM(5)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is zplug-from — it's the manual page (section 5, from the ZPLUG Manual) that tells you how to pick the service you install from 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zplug "username/reponame", from:plugin

and btw, whenever we say package in here, we mean a string shaped exactly like this: "username/reponame". that's the whole thing. that's the package. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the from tag is literally you choosing whether the package you're installing shows up as a plugin or as a command. that's it. that's the vibe check. ✨

here's the tea on what values the from tag actually accepts, and which one you get if you don't say anything:

• possible values: github, gitlab, bitbucket, gh-r, gist, oh-my-zsh, local
• default value: github

(yeah, github is the main character unless you say otherwise 👑)

and if you want to change that default for real, you can do it with the zstyle command:

$ zstyle ":zplug:tag" from local

boom. default changed. no cap. 🔥

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

install straight from oh-my-zsh:

$ zplug "plugins/git", \
    as:plugin, \
    from:oh-my-zsh

install from a gist:

$ zplug "b4b4r07/79ee61f7c140c63d2786" \
    as:command, \
    from:gist

install from local (your own machine, your own files, we love her 💖):

$ zplug "~/.zsh/plugins/brew" \
    from:local, \
    use:"*.sh"
