zsh-startup-timer

A zsh plugin to print the time it takes for the shell to start up.

Screenshot

Note

Unfortunately, the startup timer is itself slow. Would be great to find a cross-platform way to get the startup time at millisecond resolution that doesn't require Python.

Fortunately this slowness doesn't affect the time displayed, since it compares the difference between the start time of the shell and the python process.

Installation

This requires Python 2.6+ or Python 3.

You must pip install psutil to install the psutil library, which is required.

You can install it with most of the plugin managers.
