When doing shell work, it is often the case that echo $variable is invoked multiple times, to check the result of a loop, etc.

With ZBrowse, you just need to press Ctrl-B, which invokes the ZBrowse – Zshell variable browser.

First, install the ZUI plugin (it's a UI library).

The plugin is "standalone", which means that only sourcing it is needed. So to install, unpack zbrowse somewhere and add

source {where-zbrowse-is}/zbrowse.plugin.zsh

to zshrc.

If using a plugin manager, then ZI is recommended, but you can use any other too, and also install with Oh My Zsh (by copying a directory to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins).

Add zi load z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file. ZI will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh. To update run zi update z-shell/zbrowse (update-all can also be used).

Add antigen bundle z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh.

1. cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
2. git clone [email protected]:z-shell/zbrowse.git
3. Add zbrowse to your plugin list

Add zgen load z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file in the same place you're doing your other zgen load calls.
