miniplug VS zsh-snap

So I went spent a day going through every single plugin manager on the awesome zsh page. Most hadn't been updated in over a year which left me with a few, very new projects (only a handful of commits) and miniplug , zpm, and zgenom as the most likely candidates.

Personally I use https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap as my plugin manager. You can just reference this baseline template that the author of the plugin manager has made if you want a sample config:

If you want something a bit different and interesting with a focus on cool features like instant-prompt, zcomet and zsh-snap

You can use a plugin manager like https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap to cache the output of these commands. Using something like the packages version number as the cache key will ensure that it gets regenerated only once per package update as opposed to every shell launch.

Author of Antidote here. I want to start by saying u/MrMarlon did a great job with znap, and it's a solid choice. zcomet and zgenom are also great. For modern Zsh plugin managers that are actively developed, I'd say these are my top 4 picks.

# Download Znap, if it's not there yet. [[ -f ~/Git/zsh-snap/znap.zsh ]] || git clone https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap.git ~/Git/zsh-snap source ~/Git/zsh-snap/znap.zsh # Start Znap znap prompt sindresorhus/pure # Go to prompt in just 15 to 40 ms! # Finish the rest of your .zshrc in the background. znap source zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions znap source zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting znap source marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete # Cache any script you like from the interwebs: znap eval iterm2 'curl -fsSL https://iterm2.com/shell_integration/zsh'

If you haven’t actually used Zinit yet, have a look at Znap instead. It’s just as fast, but has a much simpler syntax that is very close to native Zsh.
