⚡️ Fast and feature-rich

  • Meta plugins allow installing groups of plugins via a single, friendly label.
  • Packages offload the user from providing long and complex commands.
  • Annexes allow to extend the plugin manager with new commands.
  • Turbo mode yields 50–80% faster Zsh startup.

☑️ Neat and flexible

  • Customize paths, use multiple prompts or create your own plugins.
  • Supports Oh My Zsh and Prezto plugins and libraries. ( migration).
  • Does not use $FPATH, loading multiple plugins doesn't clutter $FPATH with the same number of entries, e.g: 10, 15,
    or more.
  • Code is immune to KSH_ARRAYS and other options typically causing compatibility problems.
  • Do not require sudo, and provide many workarounds e.g: setting so-called shims locally.

📈 Familiarize and control

Limited to your own imagination… 🧙‍‍♀️
