cpkg

A dead simple, modern package manager for C.

What is cpkg?

cpkg is an all-in-one wrapper for tools like gcc, clang, doxygen and clang-format.
It automatically detects which are present on your system, allowing you to use them with one simple cli.

Inspired by the convenience of modern tools like cargo and bun.

Usage

cpkg init
cpkg run

Features

🧑‍💻 Project Runner

You can create a project with new or init, and then run /src/main.c with cpkg run or cpkg build.

You can run tests located in /src/*.test.c and /tests/*.c with cpkg test.

📦 Package Management

You can add local paths with cpkg add <name> --path /path/to/dependency and git dependencies with cpkg add <name> --git https://github.com/nothings/stb/tree/master.

🗄️ Project File Generation

Project files can be generated using cpkg generate.

This creates a project file that acts as if you ran cpkg build, without cpkg.

Currently only supports basic Makefile generation

🛠️ Other Components

cpkg supports other functionalities:

• Formatting using clang-format
• Documenting using doxygen
