# PkgForge

## About

[PkgForge](https://github.com/pkgforge) provides portable packages and static binaries for Linux, along with [Soar](https://github.com/pkgforge/soar), a fast package manager written in Rust.

Packages live in [soarpkgs](/repositories/soarpkgs.md), where each one is a declarative TOML file pinning an upstream release by URL and hash. Nothing in that tree executes, so a package is verified against something a reviewer approved rather than something a build produced.

## Quick start

```bash
# Install Soar
curl -fsSL "https://soar.qaidvoid.dev/install.sh" | sh

# Install a package
soar install ripgrep
```
