evalcache
A zsh plugin that caches the output of binary initialization commands to significantly reduce shell startup time.
What is evalcache?
evalcache is a zsh plugin that caches the output of binary initialization commands to reduce shell startup time. It works by replacing `eval` commands with `_evalcache`, storing the static output in a file for future use, which eliminates the overhead of repeatedly executing the same initialization scripts.
Developers using zsh who rely on tools like rbenv, hub, or scmpuff and want to optimize their shell startup performance, especially those who frequently open new terminal tabs or sessions.
It provides a simple, non-intrusive way to shave milliseconds off shell startup by caching static initialization output, with minimal configuration and graceful fallback behavior if tools are removed.
