mfunc

A function wrapper plugin for ZSH.

Define, view, edit and delete persistent functions on-the-fly, without extra steps. They are permanently available until you delete them.

The plugin defines 3 functions:

Command	Action
mfunc name [name] ...	create new function(s) interactively
rfunc name [name] ...	delete existing user-defined function(s)
lfunc [-h|v]	list all user-defined functions

Functions are stored as plain text in $MFUNDCIR and made available via the autoload builtin (i.e. they are only loaded into memory when called for the first time).

Installation

a) As an oh-my-zsh plugin

1. Run: cd $ZSH/custom && git clone https://github.com/amogus07/mfunc.git plugins/mfunc

2. Add mfunc to your plugins in your .zshrc. The relevant line should look something like this: plugins=(git mfunc)

b) using antigen

1. Add this line where you load your antigen bundles in your .zshrc:

antigen bundle amogus07/mfunc

c) with vanilla ZSH

1. git clone this repo to a location of your choice

2. add a line source /location/of/your/choice/mfunc.plugin.zsh to your .zshrc

Upon its first run the plugin will notify you that it created the directory in which it stores your functions.
