-# Package Manager

-## Usage
+---
-forge add
+# Forge
-creates a config for the package based on the repo name.
+Forge is a from-source package manager that allows for the seamless tracking, installing, and updating of packages build from git repositories. Forge is entirely independent of any upstream repository project you only need a git repo with the source code.
-#TODO: handle namespace conflict
+Forge is mostly designed to be used alongside an operating system with existing package managers like Arch Linux or Debian Linux with forge acting as a simple tool to supplement packages that don't exist or give user freedom to use from-source compilation to optimize performance on certain applications. At this point in time forge has no concept of a dependency tree for the packages it tracks but it may at some point in the future.
-config options:
+---
-update =
-build = "build command"
-install = "install command"
-uninstall = "uninstall command"
-clean = "clean command"
-deps = ["named list of deps"]
+## Compiling/Installation
-forge update
+Forge uses [just](https://github.com/casey/just) to simplify build and install.
+```
+just
+sudo just install
+```
-pulls latest for all tracked packages per update rules
-
-forge upgrade [pkgnames]
-
-If no names are provided assume all otherwise do build and install on named packages
-
-forge remove [pkgnames]
-
-Removes named packages and orphaned deps
-
-forge list
-
-lists all packages currently tracked
-
-forge search [term]
-
-lists packages with the given substring not case sensitive
-
-forge clean [pkgnames]
-
-runs the clean command on every tracked package or named
-
-forge show [pkgname]
-
-shows the configured info about the package
+Then you can bootstrap forge to track itself by doing.
+```
+sudo forge add https://git.bance.dev/forge.git
+```
