Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
Sorry - should have been specific in top-level comment. I was referring to this one: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33
Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.
Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

GNU Stow is a very useful Perl program but it has some minor issues that need to be fixed
I use GNU Stow to symlink many shell and configuration files from a repository. It works so well and there are many webpages out there from people telling you how it's the best way to manage dotfiles.

- Zinit suddenly missing from Github?
-
github repo is missing
I just searched github for the latest fork, and it looks like the most recent fork is https://github.com/ryanstreur/zinit. I went ahead and forked it just in case and I have a version locally that I pulled down at Oct 12 17:12 PST. All zinit forks are showing as being forked from https://github.com/akatrevorjay/zplugin since https://github.com/zdharma/zinit is gone.

New to Mac entirely, and somewhat to DevOps. Any suggestions on getting started moving from primarily Windows/Linux? Given a MacBook Pro 2019 16"
I personally prefer zinit to oh my zsh. Lets you use all the oh my zsh plugins without downloading everything (I think that's how it still works?), lets you manage outside plugins in the same way, and is really fast to boot.

How do you lazyload or delay loading plugins? Improving zsh and other questions (Or maybe my config is broken)

Anyone interested in ZINIT documentation?
In particular, I am curious about your opinion on part document structure.

Can zsh look give you suggestions by looking at manpages?
Usage sample (using zinit) GENCOMPL_FPATH=$HOME/.cache/zsh-completion-generator if [ ! -d "$GENCOMPL_FPATH" ]; then mkdir -p $GENCOMPL_FPATH fi fpath=($GENCOMPL_FPATH $fpath) zstyle :plugin:zsh-completion-generator programs fzf zinit wait'3' lucid for RobSis/zsh-completion-generator
