Problem

  • I found in the README.md Zinit is currently the only plugin manager that provides Turbo mode, which yields 50-80% faster Zsh startup (i.e., the shell will start up to 5 times faster!) to be unclear and possibly wrong.

Suggested improvement

If the speed up is a factor 5 or even 8, then it should be 500% - 800% faster. But maybe just keep it simple and write ...yields 5 to 8 faster...

But perhaps you meant something else, namely, you meant ... from a factor 2 to up to a factor 5 faster...

PS: I wanted to add that I love zinit. I had a bit of time over the weekend to move my whole dot files over zinit. It is amazingly fast. I cannot say how much faster, but it feels a good factor from 5 to 10 faster. From over one second initialization to a negligible time now.

The only problem I found with zinit is that it lacks of good documentation. The software environment is spectacular and should be the number one plugin loader. However, it has a steep learning curve if you want to be able to things on your own and not just copy and paste a few existing examples.

It would be wonderful to rewrite the documentation. My big recommendation is to use ChatGPT. You can quickly sketch an explanation and then ChatGPT takes care for you to write it in a form that it is for other non-yet-expert humans understandable. This way, you can produce spectacular documentation in nearly no time. It may become a little bit verbose because of ChatGPT, but better verbose and understandable than too short and lacking details.
