+# This allows the youtube-dl command to be installed in ZSH using antigen.
+# Antigen is a bundle manager. It allows you to enhance the functionality of
+# your zsh session by installing bundles and themes easily.
+
+# Antigen documentation:
+# http://antigen.sharats.me/
+# https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen
+
+# Install youtube-dl:
+# antigen bundle rg3/youtube-dl
+# Bundles installed by antigen are available for use immediately.
+
+# Update youtube-dl (and all other antigen bundles):
+# antigen update
+
+# The antigen command will download the git repository to a folder and then
+# execute an enabling script (this file). The complete process for loading the
+# code is documented here:
+# https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen#notes-on-writing-plugins
+
+# This specific script just aliases youtube-dl to the python script that this
+# library provides. This requires updating the PYTHONPATH to ensure that the
+# full set of code can be located.
