marmita - vendor single-file source dependencies from git
==========================================================
marmita is a minimal binary that vendors a single source file
from a remote git repository at a pinned commit, recording the
result in a plain-text manifest.
Requirements
------------
In order to build marmita you need rustc and libgit2.
Installation
------------
Edit Makefile to match your local setup (marmita is installed
into the /usr/local/bin namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install
marmita:
make clean install
Running marmita
---------------
Add a dependency at the latest commit:
marmita add ssh://ijanc@ijanc.org/json/jackson
Pin to a tag or branch:
marmita add -r v1.3.0 ssh://ijanc@ijanc.org/json/jackson
Refresh every dependency:
marmita update
Refresh one dependency:
marmita update http.rs
Remove a dependency:
marmita rm http.rs
List every recorded dependency:
marmita list
Print the version:
marmita -V
Manifest
--------
marmita stores its bookkeeping in vendor/VENDOR. Each entry is
a header line with the file name followed by tab-indented
attribute lines, separated by blank lines:
jackson.rs
origin: ssh://ijanc@ijanc.org/json/jackson
ref: v1.3.0
commit: a4e84f6d2f21d8a5f28d17a38ed9968251325714
date: 2026-04-18
The commit field is the source of truth for what is vendored.
The ref field is optional and only present when add was given
a tag or branch with -r.
The manifest is plain text and may be edited by hand; running
marmita update afterwards is the recommended way to apply the
changes to the working copy.
