Re: save a command in history from within the widget

Hi Lewis Butler,

The problem I was trying to solve is given in

https://www.reddit.com/r/git/comments/jdl11c/can_not_use_some_of_my_aliases_with_bare_repo/

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64416625/can-not-use-some-of-my-aliases-with-bare-repo

let me explain the code you referred to. accept-line widget is invoked after we press enter in the command line. I replace that with _check-if-dotfile-command using the following line

zle -N accept-line _check-if-dotfile-command

The code took the command (which is in the $BUFFER) and replaced it with another string and then ran accept-line widget. For example any line starting with `g d stash-and-reset` was replaced with `git d stash && git d reset --hard HEAD`.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ahmad Ismail

This is, to me, very advanced zsh and while reading through it I am still not exactly sure what it does or what the purpose is.

I currently have a directory named ~/.shell which is a git repo for all the various . Files in my home folder (via hard links). What is the widget intended to do and how is it triggered?

(I realize you've moved away from this widget, but what were you trying for).
