Evaluate commands and create ad hoc plugins

Zgenom Extension for creating plugins inline

Big thanks to zoritle for the idea and initial implementation.

• Add plugin configuration right next to loading the plugins.
• Generate plugins by evaluating commands (e.g. zoxide init script) and have a faster startup time

You need to use it with zgenom.

Example

source "${HOME}/.zgenom/zgenom.zsh"

zgenom autoupdate --background

if ! zgenom saved; then
    zgenom load jandamm/zgenom-ext-eval

    # Create a plugin which greats the world and name the plugin 'welcome'
    zgenom eval --name welcome echo hello world

    # Load zsh history search and create bindings for it
    zgenom load zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search
    zgenom eval <<EOF
    bindkey '^[[A' history-substring-search-up
    bindkey '^[[B' history-substring-search-down
    EOF

    # Create an zoxide initialization file
    zgenom eval --name zoxide <<(zoxide init zsh)

    zgenom save
fi

Note: Since this does not clone a git repository the script is not updated when zgenom update is executed. It is updated when a new shell is started where init.zsh is missing. This shouldn't be an issue using zgenom autoupdate --background.

Options

• --name: name the plugin. If not provided a hash is used instead.
