- Use the `my_func()` syntax for defining functions.
- The 80 character hard limit can be waved for readability.
#### Using an Alternative zprezto Directory
To work on zprezto without messing with your current configuration:
```sh
mkdir devel-zprezto
cd devel-zprezto
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git .zprezto
ZDOTDIR=$(pwd)
echo "Your development ZDOTDIR is $ZDOTDIR"
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/^README.md(.N); do
ln -s "$rcfile" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.${rcfile:t}"
done
```
Then to start zsh in this development environment you will run:
```sh
ZDOTDIR=/path/to/devel-zprezto zsh
```
#### Modules
- A *README.md* must be present.
