ver

Summary

ver'' selects a specific version (tag, branch, or latest) when downloading binary releases from GitHub Releases (from"gh-r") or when checking out a plugin at a specific branch or tag.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice from"gh-r" ver"latest"      # explicit latest (same as omitting ver)
zi ice from"gh-r" ver"v1.2.3"      # specific release tag
zi ice ver"main"                    # checkout a branch
zi ice ver"abranch"                 # any branch or tag name

Details

When used with from"gh-r", ver'' picks the GitHub Release to download. The default (when ver is omitted) is latest.

When used with regular plugins (git clone), ver'' specifies the branch or tag to check out. This is equivalent to the at tag in Zplug.

Does not work with snippets.

Examples

# Pin fzf to a specific release
zi ice from"gh-r" as"program" ver"0.42.0"
zi light junegunn/fzf

# Load a plugin from a non-default branch
zi ice ver"develop"
zi load some/plugin
