  • tzpm

    The tiniest zsh plugin manager

Awesome-Zsh shows quite a crowd in this space, though many appear to be abandoned: - tzpm - uz - mzpm - miniplug - zapack - zit ... and probably others I missed.

  • zsh_unplugged

    🤔 perhaps you don't need a Zsh plugin manager after all...

  • I even developed my own take on micro plugin managers at one point, zsh_unplugged. What's Zap's claim to fame?
