I think most of you already knows that prezto is dead (https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto/issues/1239). However, as you can see in this cited issue, there is now a fork of prezto that is active from zsh-users (https://github.com/zsh-users/prezto).
The fork seems pretty active contrary to main repo. So it would be interesting to point zplug to this new fork instead of sorin-ionescu, or at least offer this fork as an option (or maybe allowing the user to override the repository in omz and prezto, so the user could change to any fork).
note that until this is sorted out, a workaround is to put this in your ~/.gitconfig:
[url "https://github.com/zsh-users/prezto.git"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git
Thank you for suggestion. In zplug prezto is treated as $_ZPLUG_PREZTO variable. If this is overwritten it will be used as prezto.
$ echo $_ZPLUG_PREZTO
sorin-ionescu/prezto
This should probably be closed. The people responsible for the fork have put their support behind the original repo and it is getting relatively frequent updates. It was also changed back in https://github.com/zplug/zplug/pull/413 because of this.
