1x7 GPack - Not Just Another Package Manager
summary
A lightweight tool called GPAC manages git-based dependencies by creating a GPAC file that gets versioned with the repo, recurses other GPAC files, and installs via gp install; it exposes four commands (create, add, add-no-install, install), ships a small GUI log, and demos pulling packages from lbgpack.com. The demo shows automatic dependency detection, cloning dependencies into a pure folder suitable for CI, works end-to-end, and lacks conflict resolution and wide provider support while still under active development.
