  • Quickest path to a decent zsh setup?
    6 projects | /r/zsh | 5 Dec 2023
    Although there are all sorts of Zsh starter kits and plugin managers out there, based on what you've described as an OMZ user, it seems like you would benefit most from investing in customizing your OMZ config with a $ZSH_CUSTOM folder and then saving your $ZSH_CUSTOM folder in a cloud git provider like GitLab, BitBucket, or GitHub.
  • Oh-my-zsh without oh-my-zsh?

    Zinit seems overly complicated. I prefer antidote
  • Current state of plugin managers
    12 projects | /r/zsh | 9 Apr 2023
    Awesome! Glad it works well for you. Feedback welcome if you run into problems or would like to see new features: https://github.com/mattmc3/antidote/issues
  • Yet another "which plugin manager" question

    [[ -e ~/.antidote ]] || git clone https://github.com/mattmc3/antidote.git ~/.antidote
  • Introducing Antidote - A native zsh continuation of the antibody plugin manager
    2 projects | /r/zsh | 7 Mar 2022
    Some notable features: - Antidote is not written in Go - it's a native Zsh implementation - Your existing antibody ~/.zsh_plugins.txt file should work without modification - All antibody commands are implemented (bundle, help, home, init, list, path, purge, update) for compatibility - If you load your plugins statically like you did with antibody, the performance is still astounding and will continue to rival any other plugin manager (Go not required, though I have nothing against Go - it's truly a great language) - I combed through old antibody issues for non-implemented feature requests and plan to implement some of them. Some, like zsh-defer support are already available - Cloning and updating are done in concurrently just like in Go - The feature roadmap is available by looking at the open GitHub issues
