It is a package manager <a href="https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop">developed by Luke Sampson and contributors</a> with community maintained buckets (repositories). These contain pure json manifests that tell Scoop how to download, install and update apps. Since Scoop installs to a subfolder of your user directory by default, everything is in one place and admin privileges are not needed. Perfect for dev tools!</p> <h1> Shovel? </h1> <p>Incredible sense for naming, I know. Having used <a href="https://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a> before, I found that I used the <a href="https://formulae.brew.sh/">Formulae</a> page more often to search for apps than <code>brew search</code>. As such, I tried to do the same for Scoop, but had to revert to <code>scoop search</code> quite often. No search in form of a web app (that I knew of) was available, and search engine coverage of the manifests on GitHub seemed to be spotty.</p> <p>Cue <a href="https://shovel.sh">Shovel</a>, an after-work project to make searching for Scoop manifests just a bit more streamlined.</p> <h1> So? </h1> <p>Try out how <a href="https://shovel.sh">Shovel</a> fits into your workflow! Please report issues or even submit pull requests to the </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://github.com/mertd/shovel">web app repo</a> containing the React SPA (JavaScript)</li> <li> <a href="https://github.com/mertd/shovel-data">data repo</a> containing the Go script that pulls all manifest data together to make it searchable client-side.</li> </ul> <p>The project has mainly been a playground for me so far, i.e. containing my first steps in Go. If it can improve your workflow too, even better!</p> showdev sideprojects scoop typescript
