mv

Summary

mv'' renames a file after cloning or after an update (only when new commits were downloaded). It is primarily used to rename versioned binary release assets to a consistent short name.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice mv"{from} -> {to}"
# from/to are relative to the plugin/snippet directory
zi ice mv"fzf-linux-amd64 -> fzf"
zi ice mv"docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 -> docker-compose"

Details

The separator is -> (space, arrow, space). Both sides are filenames or glob patterns relative to the plugin directory. The operation runs after cloning and after git pull (only if new commits arrived).

mv'' runs before cp'' and before atclone''/atpull'' (unless atpull starts with !).

Works with both plugins and snippets.

Examples

# Rename the platform-specific docker-compose binary
zi ice from"gh-r" as"program" mv"docker* -> docker-compose" bpick"*linux*"
zi load docker/compose
