⚙️ Startify
A plugin that aims at providing what vim-startify plugin does, but in Zsh. The analogy isn't fully easy to make. vim-startify states - it provides dynamically created headers or footers and uses configurable lists to show recently used or bookmarked files and persistent sessions.
Zsh Startify overview
- Shows recently used files if used by a shell-util command, with name of the command(s) on other right
- Shows recently used vim files
- Show active tmux sessions
- Show statistics of most popular aliases in use
- Show recently visited projects e.g:
gitrepositories, and directories with:Makefile,CMakeLists.txt,configurescript.
- Very advanced feature, inherited from
zsh-startify's predecessor:z-shell/zaccumulatorplugin - Show recently ran
gitcommands, with analysis of e.g. recently checked-out branches - Can cooperate with any bookmarking plugins to show their bookmarks
Quick Start
zsh-startify accumulates data in its own history file. To pre-fill it quickly with a few of entries (basing on the regular history) you can run the __from-zhistory-accumulate command.
