ZPLUG-ON(5)

✨ ZPLUG-ON(5) ✨

the zplug manual, but make it a group chat 💅

okay bestie, this is the page for zplug-on — and yes it's the zplug manual, section 5, so pull up a chair 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

zplug-on — Dependencies. literally that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

zplug "username/reponame", on:another_user/another_repo

okay so when we say package (and we're gonna say it a lot), we mean a string in exactly this format:

"username/reponame"

that's the shape. that's the assignment. no cap 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: with the on tag you get to manage your repository dependencies. putting

zplug "a/b", on:"c/d"

means a/b depends on c/d. that's it! a/b said "i am not showing up to the function unless c/d is there" 😭 and zplug respects that.

⭐ Table 1. zplug on tag ⭐

• Possive Values (yes, that's what the original says, we keep it 💀) — (package)
• Default value — (none)

🧚 changing the default 🧚

bestie you can also switch up the default value with the zstyle command:

$ zstyle ":zplug:tag" on "~/.zsh"

obsessed with the flexibility honestly ✨

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

💅 Group dependencies 💅

so you want b4b4r07/emoji-cli to ride in only after stedolan/jq has entered the chat? here's how:

$ zplug "stedolan/jq", \
    from:gh-r \
    as:command, \
    rename-to:jq
$ zplug "b4b4r07/emoji-cli", \
    on:"stedolan/jq"

the way that second one just waits for the first one… main character energy, fr fr 👑

💡 tiny reminder bestie: the on tag is doing real dependency work here, so if your package needs a friend to exist first, say it. don't let it show up alone to the party.
