xplr

Installs xplr, a hackable and minimal TUI file explorer, from a GitHub release binary.

Terminal window

sbin'**/xplr -> xplr' \
sayanarijit/xplr
  • from'gh-r' — downloads the release archive from GitHub Releases.
  • nocompile — skips Zinit’s Zsh compilation step (not applicable to a binary).
  • sbin'**/xplr -> xplr' — creates a shim named xplr pointing to the binary 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.

# prerequisite — load once at the top of .zshrc
