I am using zsh as the default shell for my Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop LTS terminal. I am using zsh-autosuggestions, which is from .
I cloned the repository into my ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions folder, and I found a lot of files there. I added source ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh to my .zshrc file and everything is working fine. Now, my question is, can I delete all other files in the ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions/ folder, leaving the zsh-autosuggestions.zsh file alone, because I am sourcing only that file ?
Or all the other files are required for the zsh-autosuggestions.zsh file to work properly ?

And also, I have the same question for zsh-syntax-highlighting which is from .
Since both of these are from the same developers, I assume that they both should have the same answer.

If you call only a program’s main() method, can you then delete all the other source code, yet still maintain a functioning program?

The proof is left as an exercise for the reader.
