Antigen is to zsh, what Vundle is to vim

I would've thought that Antigen would've been more like Pathogen for vim. Apparently, I am behind the times.

It doesn't work the same way but I use this and like it: <a href="https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto</a>

I started using antigen for my dotfiles (<a href="https://github.com/js-coder/dotfiles" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/js-coder/dotfiles</a>) a while ago, and it's really awesome. However it does make sourcing `~/.zshrc` pretty slow.

Just for reference, Mat Schaffer has had a similar project for about a year, same basic goal: <a href="https://github.com/matschaffer/zundle" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/matschaffer/zundle</a><p>He also uses it to build a nice default zsh profile here: <a href="https://github.com/matschaffer/zsh-matschaffer" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/matschaffer/zsh-matschaffer</a>

I've seen antigen before, thing is, zsh plugins, especially useful ones, are few and far between.<p>I have ~30 plugins installed with Vundle, and regularly add and play with new ones.<p>For zsh I have exactly two (syntax highlighting and one I'm forgetting at the moment) and I can't remember the last time I saw another that looked useful.

So the longterm goal of this would be to replace oh-my-zsh and it's host all plugins in one repository and hope robyrussel merges the change request?<p>Sounds pretty good if this works out I think. Are there any obvious downsides?

Woah, the hackernews effect is quite impressive. The github project more than doubled in stars (now at 280) over the past 6 hours since posting this.

Author here.<p>I'm late here, but if there are any questions, I'll answer.<p>Seeing the github stars shoot up, I guessed HN happened to the project. Here we are :)

I'm in no way affiliated with the project. I just thought it needed some more attention because it is awesome.
