This commit introduces a large-scale structural refactor of the pkgmgr
codebase. All functionality has been moved from the previous flat
top-level layout into three clearly separated namespaces:
• pkgmgr.actions – high-level operations invoked by the CLI
• pkgmgr.core – pure logic, helpers, repository utilities,
versioning, git helpers, config IO, and
command resolution
• pkgmgr.cli – parser, dispatch, context, and command
handlers
Key improvements:
- Moved all “branch”, “release”, “changelog”, repo-management
actions, installer pipelines, and proxy execution logic into
pkgmgr.actions.<domain>.
- Reworked installer structure under
pkgmgr.actions.repository.install.installers
including OS-package installers, Nix, Python, and Makefile.
- Consolidated all low-level functionality under pkgmgr.core:
• git helpers → core/git
• config load/save → core/config
• repository helpers → core/repository
• versioning & semver → core/version
• command helpers (alias, resolve, run, ink) → core/command
- Replaced pkgmgr.cli_core with pkgmgr.cli and updated all imports.
- Added minimal __init__.py files for clean package exposure.
- Updated all E2E, integration, and unit tests with new module paths.
- Fixed patch targets so mocks point to the new structure.
- Ensured backward compatibility at the CLI boundary (pkgmgr entry point unchanged).
This refactor produces a cleaner, layered architecture:
- `core` = logic
- `actions` = orchestrated behaviour
- `cli` = user interface

Package Manager🤖📦
Kevins's Package Manager is a configurable Python tool designed to manage multiple repositories via Bash. It automates common Git operations such as clone, pull, push, status, and more. Additionally, it handles the creation of executable wrappers and alias links for your repositories.
Features 🚀
-
Installation & Setup:
Create executable wrappers with auto-detected commands (e.g.main.shormain.py). -
Git Operations:
Easily performgit pull,push,status,commit,diff,add,show, andcheckoutwith extra parameters passed through. -
Configuration Management:
Manage repository configurations via a default file (config/defaults.yaml) and a user-specific file (config/config.yaml). Initialize, add, delete, or ignore entries using subcommands. -
Path & Listing:
Display repository paths or list all configured packages with their details. -
Custom Aliases:
Generate and manage custom aliases for easy command invocation.
Installation ⚙️
Clone the repository and ensure your ~/.local/bin is in your system PATH:
git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager.git
cd package-manager
Install make and pip if not installed yet:
pacman -S make python-pip
Then, run the following command to set up the project:
make setup
The make setup command will:
- Make
main.pyexecutable. - Install required packages from
requirements.txt. - Execute
python main.py installto complete the installation.
Docker Quickstart 🐳
Alternatively to installing locally, you can use Docker: build the image with
docker build --no-cache -t pkgmgr .
or alternativ pull it via
docker pull kevinveenbirkenbach/pkgmgr:latest
and then run
docker run --rm pkgmgr --help
Usage 📖
Run the script with different commands. For example:
- Install all packages:
pkgmgr install --all - Pull updates for a specific repository:
pkgmgr pull pkgmgr - Commit changes with extra Git parameters:
pkgmgr commit pkgmgr -- -m "Your commit message" - List all configured packages:
pkgmgr config show - Manage configuration:
pkgmgr config init pkgmgr config add pkgmgr config edit pkgmgr config delete <identifier> pkgmgr config ignore <identifier> --set true
