Xrepo CLI

xrepo is xmake's standalone C/C++ package manager. It shares the xmake runtime but is a full package tool on its own — use it outside of any project to install, query, or enter an environment with C/C++ libraries and tools.

xrepo manages global repositories and installed packages. xmake repo is a project-local variant. If you want the change to apply everywhere on your machine, use xrepo.

Packages come from the official xmake-repo by default, plus any private repos you register, plus bridges to vcpkg/brew/conan/pacman/apt etc.

Installing packages

xrepo install zlib tbox
xrepo install "zlib 1.2.x"          # semver range — QUOTE the spec
