Includes 120+ optional plugins (rails, git, OSX, hub, capistrano, brew, ant, macports, etc), over 120 themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

Most of these plugins can be installed by adding `antigen bundle githubuser/reponame` to your .zshrc file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh. You can also add the plugin to a running zsh with `antigen bundle githubuser/reponame` for testing before adding it to your `.zshrc`.
Most of these plugins can be installed by adding `zgen load githubuser/reponame` to your .zshrc file in the same function you're doing your other `zgen load` calls in.
