zerobrew

zerobrew is an innovative lightweight package management system and dependency installer designed to simplify how developers install, build, and manage open-source software without relying on heavyweight ecosystems. It reimagines the idea of a “brew-like” experience by focusing on minimal dependencies, reproducible builds, and clarity of configuration so that even complex packages can be installed without deep setup overhead. Rather than abstracting every detail behind magic, ZeroBrew encourages transparency: users see what’s happening at every step and can customize build logic or patches directly within formula definitions. This makes it appealing for environments where reproducibility, auditability, and simplicity matter, such as on developer workstations, CI pipelines, or constrained runtime environments.
