GitPack is going to go through significant changes in the future. My GitPack projects are and will be compatible.

Simple Git-based package manager.

Wouldn't it be great to install and update your favorite Git projects like this?

gitpack install <url>

And when they are no longer needed, uninstall them that way?

gitpack uninstall <url>

If you are in, then GitPack comes in pretty handy. All you need is a URL of a compatible Git project.

Are you a developer? Do you like the idea stated above? Then keep reading in the Developer section.
