Feature Request: support download zls

[jinzhongjia]

Maybe we can add feat to download zls, and just like using exec with zig, it also can use on zls!

[hendriknielaender]

Yeah that's a cool idea.

I'm trying to add zls support
But maybe we need to modify the command line, such as zmv zls i 0.13.0 or zvm i 0.13.0 --zls

I have a little question, why did you add a lot of assert in the source code?

I find that many assert are unnecessary

I added it only to three functions. One in update_current to check that the zig_path and symlink_path variables are not empty before attempting to update the current symbolic link or directory.

And the others are copy_dir and content. IMHO that's not a lot. In these cases, the assertions act as security checks.

I suggest introducing a command line parsing package. The current command function is no longer sufficient.

For example, the clap package is of very high quality.

What's the current limitation that we are facing? If there are no major obstacles, I want to avoid adding dependencies.

For example, 'install 0.13.0' is designed to take only one argument, but I think 'install zig 0.13.0' is more intuitive and can be distinguished from 'install zls 0.13.0'. It can be installing zig for default 'install 0.13.0'.

#57

Currently we only need that for zls as additional argument, so something like in my draft should work.

[hendriknielaender]

@jinzhongjia how do we proceed with the zls feature? IIRC there is still something missing.

[jinzhongjia]

Missing support for master branch compilation

But I don't have extra effort to deal with this issue now.
