Wid: My package manager project

Hi guys,

This is my package manager project. Wid, as the name implies is a Windows Downloader. My project is open-source and GPL v3 license. You can figure out the rest by experimenting. You can learn the commands by entering the "wid" command into cmd.

Repo: https://github.com/ZeSystem-Inc/wid Releases: https://github.com/ZeSystem-Inc/wid/releases

Actually, I have a Gist for this that you can use. I update the Gist from time to time. In fact, the sources.list file can be customized specifically.

The point is that you pinned a specific commit instead of a branch like main

And yeah calling dependency resolution fragile is weird. It is not an actual package manager, just a download tool.

I already use tags for releases. The commit hash is for development. You can check the releases page.
