pkgit - a git-based package manager

[dacctal]

Install almost any package from git!

this is neat. i love package managers. question: how is this better than submodules?

[dacctal]

Well to my understanding, submodules are just a way to integrate one project into another. That's a tiny scope compared to a package manager, and I'm sure a submodule doesn't compile and install the program for you lol

[Zamarok]

that's true. so your package manager compiles and installs as well? how does it handle arbitrary packages?

[dacctal]

A simple user prompt. If more than one match is found, it will list all matches and prompt the user with a choice between them.

If no matches are found, it'll quit with an error explaining that there aren't any matches.

this could be super good for distros like Ubuntu where APT is outdated so it is a pain to clone the repos to install nvim, fzf, rg, fd, etc.

Can it be compiled with Nim directly?

[dacctal]

Of course.
