bpick

Summary

bpick'' selects which asset to download from a GitHub Releases page when using from"gh-r". It is a glob pattern matched against the asset filenames.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice from"gh-r" bpick"*linux*"
zi ice from"gh-r" bpick"*Darwin*"
zi ice from"gh-r" bpick"*x86_64*"

Details

When from"gh-r" is used, a GitHub Release may contain multiple assets for different platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows, architectures). bpick'' filters by a glob pattern so only the matching asset is downloaded.

Without bpick'', Zinit attempts to auto-detect the correct asset by matching the OS name and architecture against asset filenames. Explicit bpick'' overrides that heuristic.

Does not work with snippets.

Examples

# Explicitly select Linux asset for docker-compose
zi ice from"gh-r" as"program" mv"docker* -> docker-compose" bpick"*linux*"
zi load docker/compose
