ANTIDOTE-INIT(1) Antidote Manual ANTIDOTE-INIT(1)

NAME

antidote-init - initialize the shell for dynamic bundles

SYNOPSIS

source <(antidote init)

DESCRIPTION

antidote-init changes how the antidote command works by causing antidote bundle to automatically source its own output instead of just generating the Zsh script for a static file.

This behavior exists mainly to support legacy antigen/antibody usage. Static bundling is highly recommended for the best performance. However, dynamic bundling may be preferable for some scenarios, so you can rely on this functionality remaining a key feature in antidote to support users preferring dynamic bundles.

Typical usage involves adding this snippet to your .zshrc before using antidote bundle commands:

source <(antidote init)

OPTIONS

-h, --help
