NAME

       antidote - the cure to slow zsh plugin management

SYNOPSIS

       antidote [-v | –version] [-h | –help] <command> [<args> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       antidote is a Zsh plugin manager made from the ground up thinking about performance.

       It  is  fast  because  it  can  do things concurrently, and generates an ultra-fast static
       plugin file that you can easily load from your Zsh config.

       It is written natively in Zsh, is well tested, and picks up  where  Antigen  and  Antibody
       left off.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show context-sensitive help for antidote.

       -v, --version
              Show currently installed antidote version.

COMMANDS

       help   Show documentation

       load   Statically source all bundles from the plugins file

       bundle Clone bundle(s) and generate the static load script

       install
              Clone a new bundle and add it to your plugins file

       update Update antidote and its cloned bundles

       purge  Remove a cloned bundle

       home   Print where antidote is cloning bundles

       list   List cloned bundles

       path   Print the path of a cloned bundle

       init   Initialize the shell for dynamic bundles

EXAMPLES

   A Simple Config
       Create a .zsh_plugins.txt file with a list of the plugins you want:

          # ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_plugins.txt
          zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
          zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search
          zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

       Now, simply load your newly created static plugins file in your .zshrc.

          # ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc
          source /path/to/antidote/antidote.zsh
          antidote load

   A More Advanced Config
       Your  .zsh_plugins.txt  file  supports  annotations.   Annotations tell antidote how to do
       things like load plugins from alternate paths.  This lets you  use  plugins  from  popular
       frameworks like Oh-My-Zsh:

          # ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_plugins.txt
          ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:lib
          ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:plugins/git
          ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:plugins/magic-enter
          etc...

   Dynamic Bundling
       Users  familiar  with  legacy  plugin  managers  like  Antigen might prefer to use dynamic
       bundling.  With dynamic bundling you sacrifice some performance to avoid  having  separate
       plugin files.  To use dynamic bundling, we need to change how antidote bundle handles your
       plugins.  We do this by sourcing the output from antidote init.

       An example config might look like this:

          source /path/to/antidote/antidote.zsh
          source <(antidote init)
          antidote bundle zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
          antidote bundle ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:lib
          antidote bundle ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:plugins/git

       Instead of calling antidote bundle over and over, you might prefer to load bundles with  a
       HEREDOC.

          source /path/to/antidote/antidote.zsh
          source <(antidote init)
          antidote bundle <<EOBUNDLES
              zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting # regular plugins
              ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:lib # directories
              ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:plugins/magic-enter # frameworks
              https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search # URLs
          EOBUNDLES

   Installation
       To install antidote you can clone it with git:

         git clone –depth=1 https://github.com/mattmc3/antidote.git ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.antidote

       Then, simply add the following snippet to your .zshrc:

         source ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.antidote/antidote.zsh
         antidote load

CUSTOMIZATION

       The   location   where   antidote   clones  repositories  can  bu  customized  by  setting
       $ANTIDOTE_HOME:

         ANTIDOTE_HOME=/path/to/my/repos

       The bundle directory in ANTIDOTE_HOME can be  changed  to  use  friendly  names  with  the
       following zstyle:

         zstyle ':antidote:bundle' use-friendly-names on

       The  default  bundle  file  is ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_plugins.txt.  This can be overridden
       with the following zstyle:

         zstyle ':antidote:bundle' file /path/to/my/bundle_file.txt

       The default static file is ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_plugins.zsh.   This  can  be  overridden
       with the following zstyle:

         zstyle ':antidote:static' file /path/to/my/static_file.zsh

       The default options used by romkatv/zsh-defer can be changed with the following zstyle:

         zstyle ’:antidote:bundle:*’ defer-options `-a'
         zstyle `:antidote:bundle:foo/bar' defer-options `-p'

       Bundles can be Zsh compiled with the following zstyle:

         zstyle ’:antidote:bundle:*’ zcompile `yes'

       Or, if you only want to zcompile specific bundles, you can set those individually:

         zstyle ’:antidote:bundle:*’ zcompile `yes'
         zstyle `:antidote:bundle:zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting' zcompile `no'

       The static file can be Zsh compiled with the following zstyle:

         zstyle `:antidote:static' zcompile `yes'
