Question: How to migrate from zdharma/zinit?

[seasonedfish]

I used zinit before it was deleted, and I wanted to migrate to the new repository.
In ~/.zinit/bin, I ran:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit.git

It seems to have worked; zinit self-update pulls from the new URL.

Is this the recommended way of migrating? Perhaps some documentation could be added to the README to help other users.

It's currently covered in the wiki but happy to approve a PR. :)

Pretty much, yes!

Perhaps some documentation could be added to the README to help other users.

We need to do that, yes.

[seasonedfish]

Ah, thanks. I see the wiki page now. It looks good, but I think it should clarify that the zinit repo is by default ~/.zinit/bin.

I'm not sure what you mean.

The installer echoes the install dir quite clearly.

[seasonedfish]

I mean in the wiki page. Currently, it says:

2. Set zinit git remote url in the zinit repo: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit.git && git pull

I suggest writing:

2. In your zinit installation directory (by default ~/.zinit/bin), set the new repository as the git remote: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit.git

This clarifies where to run the command and what the command does.

[pschmitt]

Ohhhh right.

Can do! Thanks.

[pschmitt]

Done!

Other packages such as zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting also needs updating.

Maybe we should provide a script to do this automagically.
