# Nimble

Nimble is the default *package manager* for the

[Nim programming language](https://nim-lang.org).

## Documentation

Interested in how to use Nimble? See the

[Nimble Guide](https://nim-lang.github.io/nimble/index.html),

where you can learn:

- [How to install existing packages](https://nim-lang.github.io/nimble/use-packages.html)

- [How to create a Nimble package](https://nim-lang.github.io/nimble/create-packages.html)

- [How to use `nimble develop` workflow](https://nim-lang.github.io/nimble/workflow.html)

This documentation is for the latest commit of Nimble.

Nim releases ship with a specific version of Nimble and may

not contain all the features and fixes described here.

`nimble -v` will display the version of Nimble in use.

The Nimble changelog can be found

[here](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/blob/master/changelog.markdown).

## Repository information

This repository has two main branches: `master` and `stable`.

The `master` branch is...

* default

* bleeding edge

* tested to compile with a pinned (close to HEAD) commit of Nim

The `stable` branch is...

* installed by `koch tools`/`koch nimble`

* relatively stable

* should compile with Nim HEAD as well as the latest Nim version

Note: The travis build only tests whether Nimble works with the latest Nim

version.

A new Nim release (via `koch xz`) will always bundle the `stable` branch.
