About:
PscPackage is a command-line interface tool designed to manage dependencies for PureScript projects using a package set approach. It simplifies dependency management by locking projects to specific versions defined in a shared package set, ensuring reproducible builds. This tool provides a lightweight alternative to Bower for PureScript developers.

Key Features:

Package set based dependency management
Reproducible builds via lock files
Simple CLI commands for adding and updating packages
Integration with the PureScript compiler toolchain

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies in PureScript projects without Bower
Ensuring consistent package versions across development teams
Building PureScript applications with a fixed set of known working packages

Alternatives:

Spago – Spago is a more modern and actively maintained alternative that also uses package sets but offers more features like monorepo support.
Bower – Bower is the traditional package manager for PureScript but relies on the registry and can suffer from dependency hell.
