About Basher

Basher is a command-line package manager for Bash scripts. It is used to install, uninstall and update Bash packages. The homepage gives an example of installing the package pforret/note with a single command, after which the script can be used immediately. The site describes basher as working in a similar way to Composer for PHP, npm for Node.js and apt for Linux tools.

Basher does not require packages to register before they can be used. It can install a package only if that package is organised in a logical way. The site lists a directory of 103 basher-compatible packages. The source does not state pricing, so known pricing is listed as unknown.
