Git Package Manager
Package management using Github, Gitlab and vanilla Git repositories.
TODO: In it's current state this tool only works with Github git repositories as that was the highest priority.
About
This tool started because I had several tools that I was manually installing from Github repositories and I wanted to automate that process in a simple and generic way requiring no special permissions.
For example: I regularly use the Github CLI. I use to download tarballs from the their [Releases][ghreleases] but I wanted instead to be able to run something like this to install:
gpkg install github.com/cli/cli
And then when I need to update to the latest patch release:
gpkg update github.com/cli/cli
This is the kind of functionality this tool provides in a nutshell for a variety of repositories.
Installation
GO111MODULE="on" go get github.com/git-pkg/gpkg/cmd/gpkg
export PATH="$HOME/.local/gpkg/bin:$PATH"
