4. Configure Plugins:

   Put this at the top of your .zshrc to use Zshing. Remove plugins you don't need, they are for illustration purposes.

    # Zshing Main Dir
    ZSHING_DIR="$HOME/.zshing"
   
    # Set Plugin configuration Before ZSHING_PLUGINS
    ZSHING_PLUGINS=(
        # disable plugin, jeep this plugin disable to avoid stupid loop
        "#:zakariagatter/zshing:master:gitlab:plugin:zshing"
   
        # load local plugin
        ":$HOME/plugin::local:plugin:"
   
        #full site
        ":::https://github.com/zakariagatter/markedit:plugin:"
   
        # load git lib from oh-my-zsh to use git_prompt_info
        ":::oh-my-zsh:lib:git"
   
        # load color-man plugin from oh-my-zsh
        ":::oh-my-zsh:plugin:colored-man-pages"
    )
