ipm - Integrated Package Manager 🚀ipm - Integrated Package Manager 🚀
Integrated Package Manager (ipm) is a powerful, cross-platform tool designed to unify the command-line interface (CLI) commands for various package managers. It acts as a universal frontend, working on top of other package managers to provide a seamless and consistent experience for managing software packages across different operating systems.
In today’s diverse development environments, developers, software engineers, and system engineers often face the challenge of dealing with multiple package managers, each with its own set of commands and interfaces. This can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and a steep learning curve, especially when switching between different platforms.
ipm aims to solve these issues by offering a single, unified CLI that abstracts away the complexities of individual package managers. Whether you’re working on Windows, Linux, or macOS, ipm provides a consistent and intuitive interface for installing, updating, and removing software packages. By standardizing package management commands, ipm simplifies the workflow, reduces the potential for errors, and enhances productivity.
