The Vendor CLI

This tool allows users to install, manage and update dependencies. See the example to see how it works. Full disclaimer, this has been a pet personal project used to learn Rust.

Usage

1. vendor init initialises a .vendor.yml file in the working directory
2. vendor add adds a dependency in the .vendor.yml file
3. vendor install downloads and vendors the vendor the specified dependencies
   1. The first time this command is executed, it will generate a .vendor-lock.yml which keeps track of the locked reference that has been vendored (eg. a specific commit)
   2. If the lock file is already present, it will vendor the depencies locked to whatever reference the dependency is locked at
4. vendor update ignores the vendor-lock.yml and fetches newest dependencies according to the refname that is specified in the .vendor.yml file
