ZPM - Zsh Plugin Manager

Fastest, configurable and extensible zsh plugin manager

Zpm is a plugin manager for ZSH who combines the imperative and declarative approach. At first run, zpm will do complex logic and generate cache, after that will be used cache only, so it makes this framework to be very fast.

Features

  • Speed. Fastest plugin manager (Really, after the first run, zpm will not be used at all)
  • Compatibility. Zpm plugins are compatible with oh-my-zsh
  • Portability. Zpm runs on Linux, Android, OpenWrt, FreeBSD and macOS
  • Support for async loading
  • Dependencies between packages
  • Hooks
  • Function autoloading
  • Extensible

Base dependences

Installation

Add the following text into .zshrc

if [[ ! -f ~/.zpm/zpm.zsh ]]; then
  git clone --recursive https://github.com/zpm-zsh/zpm ~/.zpm
fi
source ~/.zpm/zpm.zsh

If you don't have .zshrc copy example of .zshrc from zpm

ln -sf ~/.zpm/zshrc ~/.zshrc

How to use

Currently zpm has following commands

  • load - will download and load plugin See
  • if/if-not - conditions for following command See
  • upgrade - will upgrade plugin, without parameters will upgrade all plugins See
  • clean - will clean zpm cache See

The set of commands can be expanded extended using plugins

Plugins for zpm itself

  • zpm-readme - Show plugin readme in terminal
  • zpm-info - Show plugin info in terminal
  • zpm-telemetry - Send telemetry data. Keep calm. Data is sent using GitHub and you can see it before sending.

Load plugin

Important

Be carefully, zpm doesnt guarantue loading order in call. So if you need to load a plugin before antoher, you should do 2 separate zpm load calls. This is very important for oh-my-zsh plugins, because @omz-core should be loaded before

Plugin name must have next form: user/plugin-name. This plugin can be enabled using

# Add to `~/.zshrc` after zpm initialization:
zpm load user/plugin-name

Notice: if you change ~/.zshrc, you need to remove zpm cache using: zpm clean

Additionaly they can have some tags. Tags must be separated by commas , without spaces, tag parameters must be separated from tag names or another tag parameters by :

# plugin type
#    |   plugin name
#    |      |        tag
#    |      |         |  tag parameters, divided by :
#    |      |         |            |       boolean tag
#    |      |         |            |             |
#    ↓      ↓         ↓            ↓             ↓
@type/some/plugin,apply:source:path:fpath,async

Plugin name

If plugin name starts with @word, this word will be used as plugin type. Plugin name will be used to detect plugin repository url.

  • @github/ or @gl/ - plugin will be downloaded from GitHub, this is default value, so you don't need to set it
  • @gitlab/ or @gl/ - plugin will be downloaded from GitLab
  • @bitbucket/ or @bb/ - plugin will be downloaded from Bitbucket
  • @omz/ - zpm will use a plugin from oh-my-zsh, oh-my-zsh will be download if not installed. Important: you shoud load @omz before any other plugin from on-my-zsh. zpm load @omz.

    • @omz-theme/ - will load a theme from omz. From <omz-dir>/themes/*.zsh-theme

    • @omz-lib/ - will load a lib from omz. From <omz-dir>/lib/*.zsh

    • Example:

      See: zpm-zsh#24

      # Pull in OMZ (doesn't actually source anything)
zpm load @omz

# Load any OMZ libraries we want or our OMZ plugins require
zpm load                \
  @omz-lib/compfix      \
  @omz-lib/completion   \
  @omz-lib/directories  \
  @omz-lib/functions    \
  @omz-lib/git          \
  @omz-lib/grep         \
  @omz-lib/history      \
  @omz-lib/key-bindings \
  @omz-lib/misc         \
  @omz-lib/spectrum     \
  @omz-lib/theme-and-appearance

  # Load some OMZ plugins and theme
  zpm load          \
    @omz/virtualenv \
    @omz/git

  zpm load @omz-theme/robbyrussell

  • @empty/ - special type, zpm will create empty dir without files. Useful with hook, gen-completion and gen-plugin tags. Can be ommited if your plugin name starts with @empty/
plugin-from/github  # @github doesn't necessary
@gitlab/plugin-from/gitlab
@bitbucket/plugin-from/bitbucket
@omz/some-plugin
@empty/custom/empty-plugin
@empty/another-empty-plugin

Plugin tags

apply tag

This tag has 3 possible arguments divided by :

  • source - load zsh plugin file, enabled by default. File name can be changed using source tag
  • path - add directory to your $PATH, by default - /bin dir, enabled by default. Directory name can be changed using path tag
  • fpath - add directory to your $fpath, by default or /functions dir if it exists, or plugin root dir if exist at least one _* file, enabled by default. Directory name can be changed using fpath tag
zpm load some/plugin,apply:source:path:fpath
zpm load another/plugin,apply:path # zpm will only add /bin dir to $PATH, plugin will not be sourced, nor be added to $fpath

async tag

If this tag is present, zsh plugin will be loaded async

origin tag

This tag can be used for define or redefine repo origin of plugin. Example:

zpm load some/plugin,origin:https://github.com/another/origin # This plugin will be loaded from https://github.com/another/origin, but will have internal name some/plugin

zpm load git/my-plugin,git://my.site/plugin.git # This plugin will be loaded from 3-party origin

zpm load @link/plugin,origin:/home/user/Projects/plugin # This plugin directory will be linked to your local directory

This tag have no sense with another plugin types like @omz, @omz-core, @omz-theme

source tag

Define own file that will be loaded

zpm some/plugin,source:/other.file.zsh

path and fpath tags

Using these tags you can change the destination of folders which will be added to $PATH or $fpath

zpm some/plugin,path:/executables
zpm another/plugin,fpath:/completions

autoload tag

This tag defines functions that will be autoloaded by zpm (using autoload -Uz) divided by :

zpm load some/plugin,autoload:one:two:three

hook tag

This tag parameter contains command who will be run in the plugin directory after instalation or upgrade

zpm plugin/name,hook:"make; make install"

gen-plugin tag

This tag parameter contains command who can generate zsh plugin file

zpm @empty/npm,gen-plugin:"npm completion"

gen-completion tag

This tag parameter contains command who can generate zsh completions file

zpm @empty/rustup,gen-completion:"rustup completions zsh"

if and if-not conditions

If condition allows you to run the following commands only if the condition is true

zpm if some-condition (another commands)

Conditions:

  • linux - if current OS is Linux
  • bsd - if current OS is *BSD
  • openwrt - if current OS is OpenWrt
  • macos - if current OS is macOS
  • termux - if current session run in Termux
  • ssh - if session run on remote host
  • vte - if session run on VTE based terminal emulator

Result of condition can be negated using if-not tag

The condition can be combined zpm if macos if-not ssh load repo/plugin

Notice: conditions will be verified only at first run, after that will be used generated cache

Upgrade

Run zpm upgrade for upgrading, or run zpm upgrade some-plugin another-plugin if you want to upgrade only these plugins

Clean

By default zpm will generate cache file at first run, but if you will change ~/.zshrc this cache should be removed using zpm clean command

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with zpm try:

rm -rf "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/zsh-${UID:-user}"
cd ~/.zpm
git pull

Developing process

You can see debug information by setting the system variable DEBUG=zpm

When you make changes, add information about them to the change log in next section. Also add link to pr and link to your GitHub profile.
