Porringer Logo
A meta-package manager for all porridges

Porringer

A CLI and Python API for synchronizing developer environments from a declarative manifest. Porringer reads the packages, tools, runtimes, repositories, and project install work you want, then delegates the actual work to installed package managers through plugins.

License: MIT PyPI version

Features

  • Manifest-driven setup from porringer.json or [tool.porringer] in pyproject.toml.
  • Plugin-based installers for Python, Node, system packages, project install, runtimes, and source repositories.
  • Read-only previews with stable action IDs, command previews, diagnostics, and JSON output.
  • Sync strategies for minimal installs or latest allowed versions.
  • JSONL progress streams, replay records, and trace artifacts for downstream clients.
  • Python APIs for inspection, execution, profiles, tools, progress events, and client snapshots.

Quick Start

Install Porringer into an isolated CLI environment, then preview a manifest before running it:

pipx install porringer
porringer preview examples/python-dev
porringer install examples/python-dev

See Setup for uv, pip, and development checkout instructions.

Development

Porringer uses PDM for local development. Common tasks are defined in pyproject.toml under [tool.pdm.scripts]:

pdm install
pdm run test
pdm run generate

See Development for test lanes, traces, smoke tests, and diagnostics.
