zi create

Summary

Create a new plugin skeleton in the Zinit plugins directory, optionally also creating a matching GitHub repository.

Syntax / Usage

zi create {plg-spec}

• {plg-spec} — use _local/plugin-name to create a local-only plugin (no GitHub repo). Use username/plugin-name with a real GitHub username to also create and link a GitHub repository.

Details

Scaffolds a new plugin directory under $ZINIT[PLUGINS_DIR]. When the user portion of the spec is _local (the default), the directory is created locally with no remote. When a real GitHub username is given, Zinit creates the repository on GitHub and configures the remote origin. The cd command can then be used with just the plugin name (omitting _local) to enter the directory.

Examples

# Create a local-only plugin
zi create _local/my-helpers

# Enter the plugin directory (omit _local/)
zi cd my-helpers
