Zinit is a flexible and fast plugin manager for the ZSH shell, supporting plugins, snippets, and turbo (deferred) loading. It is the community-maintained continuation of the original zdharma/zinit project.
Use cases
- manage zsh plugins
- speed up shell startup with turbo mode
- load zsh plugins from github
- install zsh completions
- manage zsh configuration
When to choose
- you use zsh and want fast, flexible plugin management
- you need deferred loading to reduce shell startup time
When to avoid
- you use bash or another shell instead of zsh
- you want a minimal setup without a plugin manager
