zi run

Summary

Run an arbitrary shell command inside a plugin’s directory. Useful for executing plugin-provided scripts or tools without changing your current directory.

Syntax / Usage

zi run [-l] [plugin] {command}

• -l — reuse the previous plugin (skip specifying plugin again).
• plugin — the plugin spec whose directory should be used as the working directory. Omit when using -l.
• {command} — the shell command to execute.

Details

Changes into the specified plugin’s directory for the duration of the command, then returns. When -l is given, the last plugin directory used in a run call is reused, allowing multiple commands to be run in the same plugin directory without repeating the spec.

Examples

# Run make in a plugin's directory
zi run tj/git-extras make install

# Run a command and then another in the same directory
zi run some-user/some-plugin ./build.sh
zi run -l ./test.sh
