Antibody is a fast shell plugin manager for Zsh, written in Go, that downloads and loads plugins concurrently. It is now officially deprecated in maintenance mode, with antidote suggested as a drop-in replacement.
Use cases
- manage zsh plugins from my dotfiles
- speed up my zsh startup time
- bundle oh-my-zsh plugins without oh-my-zsh
- install and update shell plugins concurrently
- find a faster alternative to antigen
When to choose
- you already have an antibody-based dotfiles setup and just need it to keep working
- you need a fast, minimal zsh plugin manager and accept it is unmaintained
When to avoid
- you want a maintained tool - use antidote or another active zsh plugin manager
- you need new features or bugfixes
- you use a shell other than zsh
