Zinit is not dead!

Sure there was some downtime due to the deletetening but we've kept zinit alive.

Several people stepped up to help restore what seemed lost and we've pretty much up and running again. Support and development continues. Zinit is not dead.

@pschmitt - Thank you! The work you and @alichtman and others did to keep the Zdharma org from disappearing into the ether is so appreciated. I've updated this site's README to reflect an "Alive" project status and added a shoutout to the good work of those with zdharma-continuum. Is there anything else you'd like me to add?

[pschmitt]

You're welcome! Thanks for the mention :)
I see nothing else to be added. 🎩

What about zi ?

It looks like the same thing as the old zinit

@bew - zi looks to have been started on 2021-11-11 (https://github.com/z-shell/zi/tree/bc1904dbe434e9bd3a95fe56b023bd8bd6189a51), a few days after this project. It might have some of the same features as zinit, but doesn't appear to share the same codebase. Still, zsh_unplugged is not intended to keep track of or highlight every new plugin manager that appears on the scene. It's purpose is solely to show how a simple ~20 line function can do much of the same work.
