Show & Tell: Multiple git extension tools loaded in turbo with sbin shims

Summary

A concise pattern from the zinit README for loading multiple git extension tools from GitHub in turbo mode, 1 second after the prompt, using the zinit-annex-bin-gem-node sbin ice for shim creation.

Details

Key points:

• as'null' disables script sourcing (these are command-line tools, not zsh plugins)
• sbin creates shims in $ZPFX/bin (automatically in PATH)
• lucid suppresses the “Loaded” message
• wait'1' defers loading to 1 second after prompt, keeping startup fast
• Tools without special config are just listed by their user/repo
• Tools needing post-install steps use atload or make ices per-entry in the for block

Examples

zi as'null' lucid sbin wait'1' for \
    Fakerr/git-recall \
    davidosomething/git-my \
    iwata/git-now \
    paulirish/git-open \
    paulirish/git-recent \
        atload'export _MENU_THEME=legacy' \
    arzzen/git-quick-stats \
        make'install' \
    tj/git-extras \
        make'GITURL_NO_CGITURL=1' \
        sbin'git-url;git-guclone' \
    zdharma-continuum/git-url

Target install directory is $ZPFX (~/.local/share/zinit/polaris by default, which is prepended to $PATH).
