delta

Installs delta, a syntax-highlighting pager for git/diff/grep output, from a GitHub release binary.

Terminal window
zi for \
from'gh-r' \
sbin'**/delta -> delta' \
dandavison/delta
  • from'gh-r' — downloads the release archive from GitHub Releases.
  • sbin'**/delta -> delta' — creates a shim named delta pointing to the binary found anywhere in the archive tree (requires zinit-annex-bin-gem-node).

The annex zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-bin-gem-node must be loaded before this recipe.

Terminal window
# prerequisite — load once at the top of .zshrc
zinit light-mode for zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-bin-gem-node
