    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:

    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.

    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.
