Bash and Powershell remote scripts to install header-only C and C++ libraries from github repo.

1. Vcpkg

   1 147 24,243 10.0 CMake

   C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS

   

   A better approach is to use a github as a package registry for C projects and install from each project repo since most libraries are distributed as source anyways, the closest project to achieving a smooth package registry with less hassle is vcpkg by Microsoft but this also requires the library to be added to the vcpkg port and have vcpkg installed on the system.

3. exoticlibraries

   2 1 - -

   Bash Script

4. stb

   3 172 28,127 7.1 C

   stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++

   

   The default github repo branch is main, to select which branch to install from add @branch-name after the library name e.g. libcester@dev, metaref@main, MrFrenik/gunslinger@master, https://github.com/nothings/stb@master e.t.c.

5. gunslinger

   4 10 1,307 5.5 C

   C99, header-only framework for games and multimedia applications

   

   To install non exotic library from a github repo, specify just the repo-owner/repo-name or the absolute github link to the repo. E.g. to install gunslinger and stb from master branch

6. go

   5 2,234 126,360 10.0 Go

   The Go programming language

   

   All the above ways of managing packages are all good but I love the way golang manages packages and is able to simply pull a package from the github repo and is immediately available for use in your go project, that the idea behind the two scripts I wrote and I went further such that no prerequisite is required to download a C, C++ library from github just the internet and the native shell for the operating systems, bash for Unix, Mac and Linux and Powershell for windows.
