zgen – lightweight plugin manager for Zsh

zgen is a lightweight plugin manager for Zsh inspired by Antigen. Keep your .zshrc clean and simple.

zgen provides you a few simple commands for managing plugins. It installs your plugins and generates a static init script that will source them for you every time you run the shell.

This is free and open source software.
