sh - Self-managing shell archive

The 'sh' output in fpm will generate a shell script that is, itself, an archive.

The resulting shell script will install the files you provided. You can run the resulting shell script to see more helpful information.

Create an example.sh package

% fpm -s empty -t sh -n example

% ./example.sh -h

fpm supports using sh only as an output type. This means you can create sh packages from input types like deb, dir, or npm
