pac

Intro

pac is a NeoVim package manager, written in crystal. It utilizes the internal NeoVim's mechanism, called package, so the impact on the loading speed is minimal (see :help package for more information). The only fully supported platform is GNU Linux, but it should mostly work with OSX as well. Vim is not supported, you can use pack for it.

• git (proved to work on version 2.11)
• xdg-open (to open urls with browser)

Notes

• It doesn't need to type in the full command, once the typed chars are enough to denote a command, it will be accepted.
• A NAME is treated as a PCRE regular expression.
• To speed-up the process, adding or updating packages happens in parallel.
• Completion for ZSH can be found in contrib/.
