Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

Time to fetch my files like projects and config files from various places using git, rsync, Airdrop, or remote file sharing plus Finder.

Set up the `~/.config/` git repo. Install oh-my-zsh. Set up universal ctags. Add symlinks.

Set up `notify` command. I use this in lots of utility scripts like break timers and Alfred workflows.

Brew install tech-specific and project-specific packages e.g. python, ruby, language servers, deployment tools. Install zsh integrations and recommended config settings.

Brew install some more handy tools…

`fd` for file finding.

`jq` or `jaq` for JSON processing.

`zoxide` for better `cd`.

`exiftool` for tweaking/removing image metadata.

`imagemagick` to manipulate images programmatically.

`pandoc` for format conversions like md to html.

SwiftBar for menu bar scripts.

Let's install Homebrew. Add Homebrew to my PATH. Set `brew analytics off`. Install important packages:

`tig` to conveniently operate `git`. Set up git user info. Create `~/.local/share/tig/` so `tig` stores history in `~/.local/share/tig/history`

`fzf` as a fuzzy finder for use with zsh, vim, bat.

`ripgrep` for fast, sensible regex search.

`neovim` as a text editor. `mkdir -p ~/.cache/nvim/` for `.NERDTreeBookmarks` instead of home directory.

`fnm` to manage node versions.

Set `~/.config/git/config` before using git or tig and add `~/.config/git/ignore` for global excludesfile.

@hywan Applite is a great app, and I don’t have anything against it. It’s great for what it does

Just keep in mind that it’s more like an App Store alternative that uses Homebrew casks as a backend, not a Homebrew GUI

As such, it doesn’t support formulae at all, nor taps, services or maintenance

If you’re looking for a more true-to-form Homebrew GUI that supports almost all Homebrew’s features, I’d recommend Cork: corkmac.app
