OMZ is slow, been using zinit since it came out because OMZ and antigen were so slow to start up. Recently I found zsh4humans [1] which benchmarks much better than any other solution, is portable, and has everything I need with sane configs.

Yep, I just want it to do my prompt and leave the rest alone. What would be ideal, to me, is a tool that does this:

0. Does `source ~/.config/.prompt` exist in .zshrc? if not, make it so.

1. If `~/.config/.prompt` is empty, give me a cool default prompt

2. print a link to the gallery of things I can put in `~/.config/.prompt` to make my prompt look different.

don't do any "hey lets do our biweekly upgrade" don't do anything fancy, I don't care about the rest. just give me a predictable prompt with a name I can remember, and let people submit theirs.

...hmm.. actually.. brb

Also don't like OMZ because of feature and performance bloat. I've been using prezto -- it's very modular and fast.

I use powerlevel10k to speed up my omz start time. Been great.
