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.

DBIN | A distro-agnostic package manager for Linux 🛠️

Interesting times in uniting all Linux distributions even closer after the likes (not package managers) of Flatpaks and Snaps.

◉Dbin only accesses the configs and binaries which user requests
◉Every binary that dbin has in its repositories entirely self-contained
◉Dbin doesn't use a database - it can even be used without installing it
◉Dbin marks the programs that it installs/fetches using XATTR
◉Currently 3105 packages in the repositories (things like Steam and Lutris already in)

Users are encouraged to create a pull request, open an issue, starting a discussion or making suggestions!

@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
