simple package manager, written in shell

Simple package installer

This is a simple shell script that can be used to install programs using github api

Usage

pk pkgpath ./pkgs:./other-pkgs dest ~/bin add nvim

The above will search for nvim.sh in ./pkgs and ./other-pkgs if it finds a unique instance it will install it to ~/bin.

How to add packages to path

You can add the following to your .bashrc, .zshrc or whatever you shell rc is.

export pkgpath=<repo/src/pkgs>
export pkgdest=$HOME/bin
for dir in $(find $HOME/bin -type f -executable)
do
    case "$PATH" in
        *":$(dirname $dir):"*) ;;
        *) export PATH="${PATH}${PATH+:}${dir%/*}" ;;
    esac
done

This looks in ~/bin for any executable recursively. If found the directory it is in is added to the PATH
