Ecosystem Coverage

git-pkgs supports different ecosystems at different levels depending on the underlying capability required.

To see this information from the command line:

git pkgs ecosystems           # table format
git pkgs ecosystems -f json   # JSON output

Manifests declare dependencies with version ranges. Lockfiles pin exact resolved versions and often include integrity hashes.

Registry support enables outdated and licenses commands by querying package registries directly.

ecosyste.ms support means the ecosystem is indexed by packages.ecosyste.ms, which git-pkgs uses as a fallback for registry lookups.

Managers support enables install, add, remove, update, and browse commands by wrapping package manager CLIs.
