This is a plugin manager for zsh. GitHub repo is here. It features “lazy” loading of plugins (known as the Turbo mode in the language of zinit) which loads plugins after the shell prompt itself appears. This way new shells can be opened almost instantly without any noticeable lag.

A caveat is that zinit uses zi as an alias for its command zinit, which is also used by the excellent path-jumper [[zoxide]]. A way to circumvent this clash is by adding

(( ${+aliases[zi]} )) && unalias zi

after zinit is loaded and before eval "$(zoxide init zsh)" is called in your .zshrc.

The configuration of zinit can take a little while to understand, in particular its two-line syntax of options and its ice declaration. My .zshrc is as follows, with sensitive info deleted.

source "$HOME/.local/share/zinit/zinit.git/zinit.zsh"

# Remove zi alias set by zinit (conflicts with zoxide's zi or other tools)
(( ${+aliases[zi]} )) && unalias zi
