## 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”](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) as easy as typing `pkgo` (thanks to `pkgx`).
