If you like the idea click ⭐ on the repo and tweet.

Installation

To install use pip:

xpip install xontrib-pm
# OR: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-pm

Usage

After loading xontrib-pm is searching the known package managers. If the package manager installed (e.g. pacman) the xontrib adds the aliases e.g. pacman-install, pacman-search, etc. The pm command returns the list of known installed package managers.

xontrib load pm
pm
# pacman, brew

# Type `pacman-` and press Tab
pacman-search vim    # sudo pacman -Ss vim
pacman-install vim   # sudo pacman -Sy vim

Feel free to extand the list of known package managers.

Supported package managers

PMs: apt, brew, guix, pacman, port, yum, zap. Feel free to add more, PR is welcome!

Commands

The list of commands that need to have the package manager aliases i.e. <package_manager>-<command>:

• search - serach the package
• install - install the package
• uninstall - uninstall the package

Optinally:

• instally (install and say yes) - install without user confirmation
• installed - list of installed packages
• Any other useful aliases e.g. pacman-upgrade-everything.
