Support loading binaries to path

[kylo252]

I was looking at https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy and their README describes how to install it with either antibody or zplug.

Antibody

Update your .zshrc file with the following line:

antibody bundle bigH/git-fuzzy path:bin kind:path

zplug

zplug "bigH/git-fuzzy", as:command, use:"bin/git-fuzzy"

I don't think this is currently possible with znap, is it? If not, how hard would it be to implement such a feature?

Yes, it's already possible with Znap. Just add it to your path like this:

path=( ~[bigH/git-fuzzy]/bin $path )

Znap will automatically download it for you.

I submitted a pull request to git-fuzzy to include this in their instructions: bigH/git-fuzzy#36

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the nice tool as usual :)

Two questions:

1- Wouldn't it make more sense to symlink the file to a single znap-bin directory instead of adding it directly to $path? I'm just thinking it's gonna get crowded pretty quickly if you add a few of these.
2- If you agree with the first point, maybe consider adding a nice wrapper command?

As a reference, I think zplug is using symlinks as well but I can't say for certain due to my limited experience with zsh scripting.

All right, it's now implemented: 4cd535e. Enjoy!
