ZPLUG-USE(5)

🌸 ZPLUG-USE(5) 🌸

okay so this is a page from the zplug manual bestie, and it's all about the use tag. sit down, grab a boba, we're gonna get you fluent 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

zplug-use — tell zplug the pattern of the files it should source, or the thing it should slap onto your $PATH

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

zplug "username/reponame", use:plugin

real quick, when we say package we mean a string shaped exactly like "username/reponame". that's the whole vibe, no cap.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so with the use tag you get to pick which files actually get loaded. you're handing zplug a pattern:

• for a plugin, it's the pattern of the files to source 🫶
• for a command, it's the relative path from the package root of the file to add to $PATH 🔥

super handy, like when you're rolling with from:gh-r you can go use:"*darwin*{amd,386}*" and it just works. iconic. if you wanna use extended glob though, scroll down to the later section about setting the zstyle, okurrr? ✨

Table 1. zplug use tag

• Possible values — (file patterns)
• Default value — *.zsh

and get this, you can change the default with the zstyle command:

$ zstyle ":zplug:tag" use "*.sh"

not me casually rewriting defaults 😌
