ZSH Frameworks

Zgenom

If you're using Zgenom:

1. Add zgenom load Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc along with your other zgenom load commands.
2. zgenom reset && zgenom save

Antigen

If you're using Antigen:

1. Add antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc where you've listed your other plugins.
2. Close and reopen your Terminal/iTerm window to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can run antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit in a running shell to have antigen load the new plugin.

Oh-My-ZSH

If you're using oh-my-zsh:

1. Clone the repository into a new ugit directory in oh-my-zsh's plugin folder:

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/ugit

2. Edit your ~/.zshrc and add ugit – same as clone directory – to the list of plugins to enable:

   plugins=( ... ugit )

3. Then, restart your terminal application to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can source your current shell configuration:

   source ~/.zshrc

Please read ⚠️

Git comes with a garbage collector (in case you didn't know) therefore undoing some commands will become impossible if the entries are deleted from the reflog. One way to prevent this is to increase default time limits before the reflog entries expire.

Add these configuration in your global .gitconfig file:

[gc]
    # default 90 days
    reflogExpire = 200

Used to set how long records in a branches reflog should be preserved.

[gc]
    # default 30 days
    reflogExpireUnreachable = 90

Used to set how long inaccessible reflog records should be preserved.
