  • antigen

    The plugin manager for zsh.

    Project mention: how do you get the most out of Linux? | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2022-04-09

    If you're into this sort of thing, antigen is a package manager for zsh plugins. I really like fzf-tab (I personally only activate fzf on a double-tab, I found it got in the way a bit as the default).

  • bpkg

    Project mention: Bashkit V1 | reddit.com/r/bash | 2023-01-27
  • pacapt

    An ArchLinux's pacman-like shell wrapper for many package managers. 56KB and run anywhere.

    Project mention: Why is it so hard to take a screenshot!? | reddit.com/r/linux4noobs | 2023-03-11

    The Arch Rosetta page spawned the lovely https://github.com/icy/pacapt , which is an automated form I use everywhere despite not actually having used Arch in years.

  • pacstall

    An AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu

    Project mention: Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala. | reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace | 2023-01-07

    If you use Pacstall, you can run pacstall -I nala-deb

  • xrepo

    🗂️ A cross-platform C/C++ package manager based on Xmake

    Project mention: C++Now 2022: Searching for Convergence in C++ Package Management | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-06-26

    I have a suggestion that almost nobody knows about. It's called "xrepo" and it's designed to go a long with "xmake" (which is an excellent build tool), but xrepo is technically seperate from xmake. Literally, way too much info to put it all here, but you (and everyone) should SERIOUSLY check it out. Xmake: https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/ Xrepo: https://github.com/xmake-io/xrepo

  • zcomet

    zcomet - Fast, Simple Zsh Plugin Manager

    Project mention: "Polus" A new theme for Bash | reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows | 2023-01-07

    But I like the Powerlevel10k zsh theme with the Lean Style a bit more than that. I'm using it with his configurable zsh setup as my base + zcomet plugin manager. Otherwise they're pretty similar as far as general looks & use goes.

  • pacui

    Bash script providing advanced Pacman and Yay/Pikaur/Aurman/Pakku/Trizen/Pacaur/Pamac-cli functionality in a simple UI

    Project mention: Beautiful interface like `nala` | reddit.com/r/archlinux | 2023-03-04

    pacui might be the closest attempt at something like nala, but it's not that great.. https://github.com/excalibur1234/pacui

  • gearlock

    Custom Recovery Replacement for Android-x86

    Project mention: How to name an open source project? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-08-13

    I mean it is already taken by another project https://github.com/axonasif/gearlock

This tool manages a Go environment for the user by allowing a user to specify which Go version they wish to use and handling all of the steps to install and configure that Go version. GVM also supports installing Go from the official Golang master branch so that you can easily try the next version of Go without waiting for a pre release build. (by devnw)
