Current state of plugin managers

• zinit

  24 2,304 8.2 Shell

  🌻 Flexible and fast ZSH plugin manager (by zdharma-continuum)

  

I don’t like to think too much about it. Antigen stopped development so I jumped onto zinit. Plenty fast and actively maintained. Configuration options are super clunky but once you get the basics right, it works well.

• antigen

  The plugin manager for zsh.

  

If you liked legacy antigen or antibody, and want something lightning fast, I recommend antidote (obviously, I'm biased here)

• WorkOS
