Some of the scripts may have their own license, if not, the MIT license applies.
Copy the desired files into a dedicated directory where zsh can find it (e.g. ~/.config/zsh/plugins or ~/zsh/plugins; any directory in your fpath will be fine). Then (re)start zsh and the functions resp. scripts should be available on your system.
If you use any kind of framework, please refer to their documentation to find out the proper directory and possible difficulties.

fish(should be used as a function). Due to the Fish syntax, a parser error occurs when the Fish hook is active. Therefore, it is commented out in the script. - chpwd – auto-ls after each directory change (zsh only)
- temp_conv – Script to convert temperature values (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin). The output includes joules and electron volts. You will be asked to enter the value you want to convert and will receive all conversions as a result.
Details for temp_conv
You will be prompted for nessecary input and the output is colored. If you want to have background information type `absolute_zero` at the command line and press enter (you don’t have to run the script for this function, but it is available while using the converter).
For conversion type `temp_conv` at the command line, press Enter and use one of the following options (case insensitive):
| Command | Option | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
temp_conv |
C |
for Celsius -> Fahrenheit -> Kelvin -> Joule -> Electron Volt conversion |
temp_conv |
F |
for Fahrenheit -> Celsius -> Kelvin -> Joule -> Electron Volt conversion |
temp_conv |
K |
for Kelvin -> Celsius -> Fahrenheit -> Joule -> Electron Volt conversion |
absolute_zero |

For example, if you have a temperature in Fahrenheit and want to convert it to Kelvin, you need to run the script and enter “f” (or “F”, it doesn’t matter) when prompted and press Enter. The following prompt looks like this:
Please enter a value for Fahrenheit:
Enter a value (e.g. 100) and receive the output presenting the results. It looks like this:
The conversion formula is (100°F − 32) × 5/9 and gives 37.7778°C, which is 310.928 Kelvin, 4.29283e-21 Joules and 3.60816e+06 eV.
