With Completion Generation
zinit for \
from'gh-r' \
sbin'tool' \
atclone'./tool completion zsh > _tool' atpull'%atclone' as'completion' \
@owner/repo
OMZ Plugin/Snippet
zinit wait lucid for \
OMZP::plugin-name \
OMZL::lib-file.zsh
Build from Source
zinit for \
as'null' \
configure'--prefix=$PWD' \
make'install' \
