Quick Start ​

This guide will help you get started with lip, covering basic usage for managing packages in your project.

Prerequisites ​

Before proceeding, ensure that:

  1. You have installed lip.
  2. git is installed and available in your terminal.

Initializing a Project ​

To start tracking packages, initialize a new project manifest. Run the following command in your project's root directory:

shell
lip init

This command creates a tooth.json file in the current directory. This file acts as a manifest, storing metadata about your project and its dependencies.

Installing Packages ​

To install a package, use the install command followed by the package identifier. You can specify a version using the @ symbol.

shell
lip install github.com/LiteLDev/LeviLamina@1.0.0

lip supports installing from various sources, including Git repositories. When you install a package:

  • It is downloaded to the local cache.
  • It is added to your tooth.json manifest.
  • Its dependencies are resolved and installed.

Listing Installed Packages ​

To view all packages currently installed in your project:

shell
lip list

This will display a list of packages along with their installed versions.

Viewing Package Information ​

You can retrieve detailed information about a package, such as its available versions or metadata, without installing it.

View package metadata:

shell
lip view github.com/LiteLDev/LeviLamina

List available versions:

shell
lip versions github.com/LiteLDev/LeviLamina

Updating Packages ​

To update a package to a newer version, use the update command.

shell
lip update github.com/LiteLDev/LeviLamina

Alternatively, running install with a specific version will also update or downgrade the package.

Uninstalling Packages ​

To remove a package from your project and tooth.json:

shell
lip uninstall github.com/LiteLDev/LeviLamina

Configuration ​

lip allows you to configure global settings, such as proxies.

List current configuration:

shell
lip config list

Set a configuration value:

shell
lip config set github_proxy https://mirror.ghproxy.com/
