nocd

Summary

Section titled “Summary”

nocd prevents Zinit from changing the current directory into the plugin’s directory when evaluating hook ices (atinit'', atload'', atclone'', atpull'').

Syntax / Usage

Section titled “Syntax / Usage”
Terminal window
zi ice nocd

Details

Section titled “Details”

By default, when any of the at* hooks execute, the working directory is the plugin’s local directory. nocd disables this cd so hooks run from whatever directory the shell is currently in.

This is useful when hooks reference files by absolute path and a cd would be undesired or when the hook must run relative to $PWD.

nocd is a flag ice — it takes no value.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
Terminal window
# Run atload without cding into the plugin directory
zi ice wait lucid nocd atload"export MY_VAR=$PWD"
zi light some/plugin
