There is a very cool and useful tool out there called
Ultimate Plumber.
You call it with some-command | up,
and then it opens a simple TUI where
you write a pipeline at the top of the screen

Check out Using zparseopts
Wrote more of the zparseopts post, I think I have everything explained.
Waiting until I look over it more tomorrow,
see if I worded anything poorly.

I re-wrote the cache-clearing function,
adding options with zparseopts.
I really think I need to write a post about it…
Tell you what, that will be tomorrow’s project.
Just a post about zparseopts.
It’s such a good tool, and people need to know about it!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have README.
Today was documentation day, and I now have a better screenshot (on the README). I am still unsure where to go from here. I may ask feedback from other established zsh project devs, just in case.
