Container Package Manager (cpm)

Container Package Management for the Desktop.

How is this different then Docker Hub?

Docker Hub is simply for distributing Docker Images, where CPM is for distributing desktop applications as containers.

How is this different then RPM, YUM, NPM, GEM, PIP, etc?

The main difference is CPM is the equivalent of all these package managers but for containers as desktop applications.
