Package-Xray: A Neovim-inspired Package Manager for Debian/Ubuntu

[Dropdaz]

Hi everyone! I just released Package-Xray, a CLI tool that brings Neovim's aesthetics and Lua to package management.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to talk about this, let me know about it!

This is my first open-source project! It’s still a work in progress, but I’m really excited to share it with the community. I wanted a faster and more visual way to audit my installed packages—sometimes we don't even remember what we’ve installed or why, and apt or similar package managers aren't very helpful for that .

Highlights:

• Powered by Neovim’s UI engine (runs with --clean to avoid conflicts with your personal config).
• Persistent JSON logs & Revert system: Keep track of what you do and undo it if needed.
• Full Vim-keybindings: Use j/k, search palettes, and bulk actions seamlessly.
• Categorized Explorer: Easily see what is a system default vs. what you installed manually.

Check it out here: https://github.com/Dropdaz/package-xray/

Feedback is more than welcome!

Quick Install: curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dropdaz/package-xray/main/install.sh | bash

@Dropdaz welcome to linux.org

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to talk about this, let me know about it!

It will do for now, but let me give you a tip on forum manners.

It is better to join a forum, get to know Members and they you, and then perhaps introduce your package or project.

And to keep on doing so.

I have approved your Thread for now, but you could do well to slip over to Member Introductions and tell us a bit about yourself.

TIA

Thank you, I didn't know about that! I've just done my presentation post there
