z-shell/zsh-unique-id: This plugin provides a unique number that identifies a running Zshell session, in its shell variable $ZUID_ID.

❮ ZI ❯ Plugin - Zsh Unique ID

This plugin provides a unique number that identifies a running Zshell session, in its shell variable $ZUID_ID. Besides this unique number, also a unique codename is provided, in shell variable $ZUID_CODENAME. Once you load this plugin, the two parameters will be set, and their values will not be available to other Zshell sessions (being thus unique).

$ZUID_ID is a progressing number starting from 1. $ZUID_CODENAME is chosen from a list of predefined codenames, see the default list below.

An example use case is to hold logs in files .../mylog-${ZUID_CODENAME}.log, so that two different Zshells will not write to the same file at the same time.

Default codenames are:

Zstyle configuration allows to customize the codenames:

zstyle :plugin:zuid codenames paper metal wood plastic # first 4 shells will have those codenames

The plugin is "standalone", which means that only sourcing it is needed (without using a plugin manager). So to install, unpack zsh-unique-id somewhere and add:

source {where-zsh-unique-id-is}/zsh-unique-id.plugin.zsh

to zshrc.

Sourcing is recommended, because it can be done early, at top of zshrc, without a plugin manager – to acquire the unique identification as early as possible.

Add zi load z-shell/zsh-unique-id to your .zshrc file. ZI will clone the plugin the next time you start zsh. To update issue zi update z-shell/zsh-unique-id.

Add antigen bundle z-shell/zsh-unique-id to your .zshrc file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh.

  1. cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
  2. git clone git@github.com:z-shell/zsh-unique-id.git
  3. Add zsh-unique-id to your plugin list

Add zgen load z-shell/zsh-unique-id to your .zshrc file in the same place you're doing your other zgen load calls in.
