โšก๏ธ Fast and feature-richโ€‹

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐ŸŒ€ Meta-plugins installs a group of complex plugins via a simple label, curated and optimal settings which are automatically applied.

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐ŸŒ€ Packages offloads from complex configurations and stores them as an easy swap & share profiles.

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐ŸŒ€ Annexes are extensions that are installed when required to provide additional functionality, and capabilities.

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐ŸŒ€ Turbo mode yields 50โ€“80% faster Zsh startup - one likes to wait ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ€โ™‚๏ธ

\n\n
\n

๐Ÿฅต Currently biggest issue is that it seems to be too complex for new users and recently made some adjustments which are now starting to provide the results.

\n
\n

โ˜‘๏ธ Neat and flexibleโ€‹

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Customize the paths, use ๐Ÿฅท multiple prompts in the same sessions by setting the triggers or create ๐Ÿšฉ your own plugins to simplify or improve the routine.

\n

โœด๏ธ Supports Oh My Zsh and Prezto plugins and libraries. (โ™ป๏ธ migration).

\n

โœด๏ธ Does not use $FPATH, loading multiple plugins doesn't clutter $FPATH with the same number of entries, e.g: 10, 15, even, or more.

\n

โœด๏ธ Code is immune to KSH_ARRAYS and other options, which typically cause compatibility problems.

\n

โœด๏ธ Does not require sudo, and provides many ways & workarounds to set up a clean and safe environment. e.g: setting so-called shims locally.

\n
\n

If there is something that is not supported yet, I am pretty confident that if there will be reasonable demand - it will be implemented. ๐Ÿ”จ

\n
\n

๐Ÿ“ˆ Familiarize and controlโ€‹

\n

โœด๏ธ Quickly familiarize oneself with a new plugin and provides rich and easy-to-digest information that might be helpful on various occasions.

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐Ÿ“ฅ Load, ๐Ÿ“ค unload plugins when required, use the ability to ๐Ÿง™โ€ manage completions.

\n

โœด๏ธ Docker ๐Ÿ“Š playground to test, view, or propose configurations.

\n

โœด๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ซ Gallery of the user favorites.

\n
\n

Is only limited to your own ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ imaginationโ€ฆ ๐Ÿง™โ€โ€โ™€๏ธ We need the support to make it better and more approachable to new users, become a ๐Ÿ’ž friend of the DEV ๐Ÿ’ž, and more โ˜๏ธ cloud-native โ˜๏ธ.
