pkgx

A terminal package browser for FreeBSD's pkg(8).

Browse installed and available packages, inspect package details (dependencies, dependents, shared-library users), and stage installs/removals into a work list before applying them.

Installation

dependencies:
  pkgx:
    github: threez/pkgx # or path: ../pkgx for local development

Requires the freebsd shard (FreeBSD pkg(8) bindings) and tui (this app's TUI library), both declared as path: dependencies in shard.yml today since all three repos are developed side by side.

shards build
./bin/pkgx

Usage

See doc/usage.md for the full keybinding reference.

Architecture

See doc/architecture.md for how App, Browser, WorkList, the sources, and the widgets fit together, plus the work-list panel's Window ↔ SplitWindow swap.

Development

See doc/development.md for build/spec commands and how manual verification against a real pkg database works.
