Description-en: Lightweight plugin manager for ZSH inspired by Antigen
zgen is a lightweight plugin manager for ZSH inspired by Antigen. The goal is
to have a minimal overhead when starting up the shell because nobody likes
waiting. The script generates a static init.zsh file which does nothing but
sources your plugins and appends them to fpath. The downside is that you have
to refresh the init script manually with zgen reset whenever you update your
~/.zshrc.
