Kevin Veen-Birkenbach e335ab05a1 fix(core/ink): prevent self-referential symlinks + add unit tests
This commit adds a safety guard to create_ink() to prevent creation of
self-referential symlinks when the resolved command already lives at the
intended link target (e.g. ~/.local/bin/package-manager). Such a situation
previously resulted in broken shells with the error:

    "zsh: too many levels of symbolic links"

Key changes:
  - create_ink():
      • Introduce early-abort guard when command == link_path
      • Improve function signature and formatting
      • Enhance alias creation messaging

  - Added comprehensive unit tests under:
        tests/unit/pkgmgr/core/command/test_ink.py
    Tests cover:
      • Self-referential command path → skip symlink creation
      • Standard symlink + alias creation behaviour

This prevents pkgmgr from overwriting user-managed binaries inside ~/.local/bin
and ensures predictable, safe behaviour across all installer layers.

Package Manager🤖📦

GitHub Sponsors Patreon Buy Me a Coffee PayPal GitHub license GitHub repo size

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.sh or main.py).

  • Git Operations:
    Easily perform git pull, push, status, commit, diff, add, show, and checkout with 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.py executable.
  • Install required packages from requirements.txt.
  • Execute python main.py install to 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
