A lightweight Bash script to mount USB partitions via udisksctl, open them in yazi, and unmount them afterward – safe, clean, and user-friendly.

• Lists only removable /dev/sdX partitions (ignores NVMe/system drives)
• Interactive selection menu with manual quit option
• Warns if a partition is already mounted
• Cleanly extracts the mount path using Bash
• Automatically unmounts after closing yazi
• Zero dependencies beyond udisksctl, lsblk, and yazi

1. Clone or copy the script:

   git clone https://github.com/splixx05/zsh-yazi-mount.git "$ZSH/custom/plugins/zsh-yazi-mount"

2. Activate the plugin in your /.zshrc under "plugins" like so:

  plugins=(git ... zsh-mnt ...)

or run the installation script from anywhere:

  ./install.sh

3. Usage in terminal:

For USB type this

  $ :usb

For Mobilephone type this

  $ :phone

4. Browse the mounted device with yazi – once you quit yazi, the device will be automatically unmounted.

• bash/zsh
• Oh-My-Zsh
• yazi
• udisksctl
• lsblk
• noto-fonts-emoji (or something similar for icons)

Make sure your user has permission to use udisksctl (usually no sudo required for mounting USB devices).

• Only shows /dev/sdX devices (ignores NVMe system drives)
• Does not force mount anything
• Checks if device is already mounted before attempting to mount/unmount
• Lets the user abort at any time with q

1. Remove the plugin folder:

   rm -rf ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-yazi-mount
   

2. Remove zsh-yazi-mount from the plugins=(...) line in your ~/.zshrc.

3. Restart your terminal or run:

source ~/.zshrc

Optional: If you no longer need the additional software (udisksctl, lsblk, noto-fonts-emoji), you can uninstall them using your package manager.
