GoFish, The Package Manager

Original author

The original author of this project is Matt Fisher. Due to the massive amount of time and money he had to spend on this project he decided to stop working on it and archived it.

In the past I had already contributed some 'receipes' to the companion project Fish Food (which is, BTW, also archived), so I decided that I would try to keep the GoFish and its companion project still alive as long as possible.

What does GoFish do?

GoFish is a cross-platform systems package manager, bringing the ease of use of Homebrew to Linux and Windows.

GoFish works across all three major operating systems (Windows, MacOS, and Linux). It installs packages into its own directory and symlinks their files into /usr/local (or C:\ProgramData for Windows). You can think of it as the cross-platform Homebrew.
