Zrep Package Installer (zpi)

zpi is a powerful and user-friendly package manager for the Zsh shell. It allows you to easily install, manage, and share Zsh packages, such as plugins, themes, and scripts, directly from a central repository.

What is it?

zpi in and of itself is the command line tool that you use to install and manage scripts that are placed in $fpath used by Zsh. The packages are available on the zrep website where you can, if you want to share your own scripts, register for an account. By sharing your scripts with the community, you are probably making somebody's day easier.
