🚀 Quick Start

Install shui and print your first styled message in seconds.

git clone https://github.com/kud/shui ~/.shui
source ~/.shui/shui.zsh

📥 Importing in a script

Source shui at the top of any Zsh script:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
source "${0:A:h}/lib/shui/shui.zsh"

${0:A:h} is the Zsh idiom for the absolute directory of the current script — the path resolves correctly regardless of where you call the script from.

To select a theme before loading:

SHUI_THEME=minimal SHUI_ICONS=emoji source shui.zsh
