Paco - The tiny package manager (store.godotengine.org)

Paco is a free tiny package manager that provides a safer way to manage dependencies by downloading and installing packages from a trusted and predefined array rather than shipping addons and / or binaries directly with the project.

It's pretty much like Python, Go, or Ruby, where project dependencies can be installed from a list of packages and versions.

We’d love to get any feedback on this and know what you'd like to see improved

Thanks! 👋

Cool! I don't have projects with dependencies right now but I'll check back on this if I do, I imagine it's useful for uploading to git hosting platforms without including a bunch of extra stuff that can be downloaded from the Godot store instead
