The pkgx Ecosystem

pkgx is more than a package runner, it’s a composable primitive that can be used to build a whole ecosystem of tools. Here’s what we’ve built so far:

dev

dev uses shellcode and pkgx to create “virtual environments” for any project and any toolset.

pkgm

pkgm installs pkgx packages to /usr/local.

mash

mash is a package manager for scripts that use pkgx to make the whole open source ecosystem available to them.

pkgo (Package…GO!)

Some Open Source resists packaging and instead includes long installation instructions that can be… tedious. pkgo makes using amazing tools like “Stable Diffusion WebUI” as easy as typing pkgo (thanks to pkgx).
