About:
Wally is a modern package manager designed specifically for Roblox development, taking inspiration from Rust's Cargo. It simplifies dependency management by allowing developers to declare external packages in a simple manifest file and automatically resolving and installing them. This tool streamlines the workflow for teams and open-source contributors by standardizing how libraries are shared and consumed within the Roblox ecosystem.

Key Features:

Declarative dependency management via a manifest file
Lock file support for reproducible builds
Publishing and registry management for sharing packages
CLI tooling optimized for Roblox Studio workflows

Use Cases:

Managing third-party libraries in a Roblox game project
Sharing internal utility modules across multiple Roblox experiences
Automating dependency installation in CI/CD pipelines for Roblox

Alternatives:

Rojo – Rojo syncs files between a codebase and Roblox Studio, whereas Wally specifically handles versioned dependency management.
npm – npm is a general-purpose JavaScript package manager, while Wally is tailored for the Luau/Roblox runtime.
