impaccable

A gentle declarative pacman wrapper for Arch Linux.

Hint: This CLI is in active development, breaking changes may occur.

Key features

• store your installed packages in git, like you'd store your dotfiles
• easily editable toml files
• group your packages logically
• reference the groups you want to have installed per machine

Usage scenarios

1. Importing your installed packages step by step

mkdir ~/.config/impaccale && cd ~/.config/impaccable && git init
impaccable import
git commit -m "Added my system packages"
# add remote and push ...

2. resulting config example

# ~/.config/config.toml
package_dir = "packages"

[targets.dev_machine]
root_groups = ["programming"]

[targets.home_server]
root_groups = ["server-base"]

# ~/.config/impaccable/packages/mypackage.toml
[programming]
members = ["rustup", "helix", "code"]

[server-base]
members = ["nginx"]

3. Setting up a new machine

git clone https://git.example.com/my/impaccable-config ~/.config/impaccable
# select one of your configured machine types ('targets')
impaccable target set dev_machine
# install all packages
impaccable sync

# now use your favourite dotfile manager to get your configs
