zi recall

Fetch the saved ice modifiers for a plugin or snippet and reconstruct the zi ice ... command that would reproduce the current configuration. Useful for inspecting what ices were applied at install time.

Terminal window
zi recall {plg-spec}|{URL}

Ice modifiers are persisted to the ._zinit/ subdirectory inside each plugin or snippet’s directory on disk. recall reads that data and prints the equivalent zi ice ... command. This lets you verify exactly which ices Zinit will use when updating or reinstalling the resource, without having to inspect the raw files manually.

Terminal window
# See what ices were saved for a plugin
zi recall zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
# See ices for a snippet
zi recall OMZP::git
