Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Bring third-party code into your repo and keep it up to date. Supports syncing from files, git, downloading and extracting from remote URLs. Pulls in specific revisions and can auto-update when new versions are published. Can be run as part of a build process - commit the config to your repo.

Tradeoffs

Supports limited sources, but actual packages & dependencies are probably already managed as part of your language toolchain. Requires Python rather than a static binary.
