  • Hey everyone! I was pretty bummed out when antibody, the Zsh plugin manager I came to rely on, was deprecated last year and went into maintenance mode. It seems like all the Zsh plugin managers we've come to use and love have been disappearing or going into maintenance mode (antigen, zgen, zplug, zinit, etc). Thankfully projects like zdharma-continuum and Zgenom have been popping up to take over where others have left off (for zinit and zgen respectively), and new ones like Znap have come on the scene. But nothing showed up to give antibody users a compatible path forward. That changes now!

  • 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
