As\nan example we can take Vim plugins, (mostly) to package a plugin it is just\nenough to download a Git repository.\n\n```nix\nbuildVimPlugin {\n  pname = \"lazy.nvim\";\n  version = \"2025-02-25\";\n  src = fetchFromGitHub {\n    owner = \"folke\";\n    repo = \"lazy.nvim\";\n    rev = \"6c3bda4aca61a13a9c63f1c1d1b16b9d3be90d7a\";\n    hash = \"sha256-nQ8PR9DTdzg6Z2rViuVD6Pswc2VvDQwS3uMNgyDh5ls=\";\n  };\n};\n```\n\nNow imagine we have a thousand of such plugins, writing out a package for each\nof them separately and then also keeping this up to date would be awful.\n\nThis library allows you to easily manage unlimited amount of packages. Before\nthis became a thing, many would just write a Python script with all the logic\nfrom the ground up. Later, when we would want to add a feature to such\na script, it would grow in complexity and result into a nightmare code.\n\nBy using the library, we can avoid a lot of boilerplate and get many powerful\nfeatures for free. As an example, single-plugin update (when you want to update\nonly one plugin instead of all of them).\n\n## Usage\n\nPlease consult our [documentation](https://nupd.perchun.it) for that.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fperchunpak%2Fnixpkgs-updaters-library","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fperchunpak%2Fnixpkgs-updaters-library","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fperchunpak%2Fnixpkgs-updaters-library/lists"}
