Buckaroo

The decentralized package manager for C++ and friends.

Why Buckaroo?

Package managers like Yarn and Cargo have shown how productive developers can be when they can easily integrate a large ecosystem of projects. Buckaroo fills this gap for C++.

The Buckaroo workflow looks like this:

# Create your project file
$ buckaroo init

# Install dependencies
$ buckaroo add github.com/buckaroo-pm/boost-thread@branch=master

# Run your code
$ buck run :my-app

We have an FAQ.

Package Registries

Pull dependencies directly from GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, hosted Git and HTTP. How?

IDE Integrations

Support for major IDEs and tools. Integration guides can be found in the docs.

Features

C++ has unique requirements, so Buckaroo is a highly sophisticated piece of software.

$ chmod +x ./buckaroo
$ ./buckaroo
macOS

Windows

You can use the Chocolatey package:

Or, download buckaroo.exe from the releases page.

How Buckaroo Works

The Buckaroo model is very simple. Packages live in source-control, and a manifest file is used to describe dependencies. This points to further manifests to create a dependency graph. Buckaroo works directly over Git and HTTP.
