gibson-cli

Golang CLI tool for Gibson framework: package manager, project manager, godot cli parser, class resolver, etc...

Modules

• Package Manager
• Project Manager
• CLI Parser
• Class Resolver

Installation

with GO

If you have go already installed on your machine:

go install https://github.com/gibsongd/gibson-cli

and gibson will be ready to serve you!

without GO

Download binaries at your choice from the latest release. Unzip gibson binaries wherever you want and

• on linux, move gibson binaries to /usr/bin
• on windows, add gibson.exe folder to %PATH% environment variable

Package Manager

Gibson package manager lets you install addons in your Godot projects. Gibson handles assets in a very similar (yet liter) way to npm. Addons are installed only from one trusted source, which is the official AssetLib using their public APIs. Once installed, addons will be cached in your $HOME/.cache (unix) or %LocalAppData% (windows) folder, so all your Godot projects will be able to share addons just executing one command!
