zgenom is a lightweight yet powerful plugin manager for Zsh.
It is a superset of the brilliant zgen. Providing more features and bugfixes while being fully backwards compatible.
Zgenom provides you 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. We do this to save some startup time by not having to execute time consuming logic (plugin checking, updates, etc) every time a new shell session is started. This means that you have to manually check for updates (zgenom update) and reset the init script (zgenom reset) whenever you add or remove plugins.
This is free and open source software.
