GitHub

Install and control almost everything from GitHub: Annexes, Packages, Gallery of Invocations.

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

• Visualise data: aliases, functions, bindkeys, Zle widgets, zstyles, completions, variables, $PATH, and $FPATH elements a plugin has set up.
• Quickly familiarize oneself with a new plugin and provides rich and easy-to-digest information that might be helpful on various occasions.
• Load or unload plugins, use the ability to manage completions.
• Docker playground, test or propose configurations.
