💡Proposal: Migration script?

[pschmitt]

To enable an easy and painless migration for the deleted zdharma, zsh-packages, zsh-zinit and psprint repos we should consider investing the time into creating either:

• a one of script that would edit all the remotes of any affected pługins
• Update zinit self-update to do that perhaps?

The issues I see with either approach are the following:

• ⚠️ we shouldn't touch the users config file(s). Depending on the setup this might be very tricky to do anyway. A plugin report should be enough.
• is it even worth the effort? Assuming most of the user-base that's left has already done the migration manually.

Maybe we should provide a script to do this automagically.

A notice on the affected repos should suffice. As soon as the user updates their .zshrc, the new package will be downloaded as missing packages on the next time it is loaded.

Setting up zsh configuration files is incredibly user-specific. My setup looks absolutely nothing like the "default" install. I think that this is probably not worthwhile. Worst case, the user blows away their current zinit install and installs fresh following our guide.

I'd say no.
