This is useful +in systems which don't have GNU coreutils installed by default, mainly macOS +or FreeBSD, which use BSD coreutils. + +To use it, add `gnu-utils` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: +```zsh +plugins=(... gnu-utils) +``` + +The plugin works by changing the path that the command hash points to, so +instead of `ls` pointing to `/bin/ls`, it points to wherever `gls` is +installed. + +Since `hash -rf` or `rehash` refreshes the command hashes, it also wraps +`hash` and `rehash` so that the coreutils binding is always done again +after calling these two commands. + +Look at the source code of the plugin to see which GNU coreutils are tried +to rebind. Open an issue if there are some missing. + +## Other methods + +The plugin also documents two other ways to do this: + +1. Using a function wrapper, such that, for example, there exists a function +named `ls` which calls `gls` instead. Since functions have a higher preference +than commands, this ends up calling the GNU coreutil. It has also a higher +preference over shell builtins (`gecho` is called instead of the builtin `echo`). + +2. Using an alias. This has an even higher preference than functions, but they +could be overridden because of a user setting. + +## Author + +- [Sorin Ionescu](https://github.com/sorin-ionescu). diff --git a/oh-my-zsh/plugins/gnu-utils/gnu-utils.plugin.zsh b/oh-my-zsh/plugins/gnu-utils/gnu-utils.plugin.zsh new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9419127 --- /dev/null +++ b/oh-my-zsh/plugins/gnu-utils/gnu-utils.plugin.zsh @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# FILE: gnu-utils.plugin.zsh +# DESCRIPTION: oh-my-zsh plugin file. +# AUTHOR: Sorin Ionescu (sorin.ionescu@gmail.com) +# VERSION: 1.0.0 +# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +# Detect if GNU coreutils are installed by looking for gwhoami +if [[ ! -x "${commands[gwhoami]}" ]]; then + return +fi + +__gnu_utils() { + local -a gcmds + local gcmd + + # coreutils + gcmds=('g[' 'gbase64' 'gbasename' 'gcat' 'gchcon' 'gchgrp' 'gchmod' + 'gchown' 'gchroot' 'gcksum' 'gcomm' 'gcp' 'gcsplit' 'gcut' 'gdate' + 'gdd' 'gdf' 'gdir' 'gdircolors' 'gdirname' 'gdu' 'gecho' 'genv' 'gexpand' + 'gexpr' 'gfactor' 'gfalse' 'gfmt' 'gfold' 'ggroups' 'ghead' 'ghostid' + 'gid' 'ginstall' 'gjoin' 'gkill' 'glink' 'gln' 'glogname' 'gls' 'gmd5sum' + 'gmkdir' 'gmkfifo' 'gmknod' 'gmktemp' 'gmv' 'gnice' 'gnl' 'gnohup' 'gnproc' + 'god' 'gpaste' 'gpathchk' 'gpinky' 'gpr' 'gprintenv' 'gprintf' 'gptx' 'gpwd' + 'greadlink' 'grm' 'grmdir' 'gruncon' 'gseq' 'gsha1sum' 'gsha224sum' + 'gsha256sum' 'gsha384sum' 'gsha512sum' 'gshred' 'gshuf' 'gsleep' 'gsort' + 'gsplit' 'gstat' 'gstty' 'gsum' 'gsync' 'gtac' 'gtail' 'gtee' 'gtest' + 'gtimeout' 'gtouch' 'gtr' 'gtrue' 'gtruncate' 'gtsort' 'gtty' 'guname' + 'gunexpand' 'guniq' 'gunlink' 'guptime' 'gusers' 'gvdir' 'gwc' 'gwho' + 'gwhoami' 'gyes') + + # findutils + gcmds+=('gfind' 'gxargs' 'glocate') + + # Not part of either coreutils or findutils, installed separately. + gcmds+=('gsed' 'gtar' 'gtime' 'gmake' 'ggrep') + + # can be built optionally + gcmds+=('ghostname') + + for gcmd in "${gcmds[@]}"; do + # Do nothing if the command isn't found + (( ${+commands[$gcmd]} )) || continue + + # This method allows for builtin commands to be primary but it's + # lost if hash -r or rehash is executed, or if $PATH is updated. + # Thus, a preexec hook is needed, which will only run if whoami + # is not already rehashed. + # + hash ${gcmd[2,-1]}=${commands[$gcmd]} + done + + return 0 +} + +__gnu_utils_preexec() { + # Run __gnu_utils when the whoami command is not already rehashed. + # This acts as a sign that we need to rehash all GNU utils. + [[ "${commands[whoami]}" = "${commands[gwhoami]}" ]] || __gnu_utils +} + +autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook +add-zsh-hook preexec __gnu_utils_preexec |
