🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

plasmapkg is a command line tool to install, list, and remove Plasma packages. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly. no GUI, no drama, just you and the terminal being main characters together. 💖

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -h, --hash path — generate a SHA1 hash for the package at “path”. it's giving fingerprint. it's giving security. we love her. 🔥
• -g, --global — for install or remove, this operates on packages installed for all users. not just you, not just your little corner of the machine — everybody. use with intention bestie, this is group-chat-wide. 🌈
• -t, --type type — the type of package, like theme, wallpaper, plasmoid, dataengine, runner, layout-template, etc. if you don't say anything, she defaults to [plasmoid]. periodt. 💅
• -i, --install path — install the package at “path”. the moment we've all been waiting for. 🫶
• -u, --upgrade path — upgrade the package at “path”. glow-up, but for a package. ✨
• -l, --list — list installed packages. so you can look at all your little guys and be proud. 🥹
• -r, --remove name — remove the package named “name”. no cap, sometimes you gotta let go. 💀
• -p, --packageroot path — absolute path to the package root. if you don't supply it, then the standard data directories for this KDE session will be searched instead. so she'll go looking for you, no worries. 🔍

ngl, --list-types shows up in the synopsis but doesn't get her own little bullet down here. she's still invited to the party though — don't leave her out. 🙈
