There’s millions of open source projects and pkgx
needs your help to package
them up!
Visit for the full documentation.
You trust us to just work and make your workflows happen. We take this job seriously and we go the extra mile on a per-package basis, for example:
Our git
ignores .DS_Store
files by default
Our RubyGems defaults to user-installs and ensures gems are in PATH
Our python
comes unversioned so the huge numbers of scripts that invoke/usr/bin/env python
actually work
Our pyenv
automatically installs the python versions it needs
Additionally, we insist our pkgs are relocatable, which is why we can install in
your home directory (but this also means you could pick up the whole ~/.pkgx
directory and bundle it with your app.) We also begin packaging new releases
almost immediately as soon as they go live using various automations.
We care about your developer experience, not ours.
