scribe
======

[](#scribe)

Well, first of all, (let me educate you), **scribe** is *not* a package/dependency manager.

Instead, it’s a lightweight tool that pulls files directly from your private repositories.

But... why?
-----------

[](#but-why)

Sometimes you don’t need a full package management workflow - no versions, no publishing, no installations.

You just want specific files from a repository (who knows? 🤷‍♂️), exactly as they are, synced into your project.

Scribe does exactly that: **fetch only what you need, when you need it**, with minimal setup and no extra package manager overhead.

#### Maybe a use-case: skeleton files

[](#maybe-a-use-case-skeleton-files)

For example, teams may maintain “skeleton” or “boilerplate” files - common base structures for new services, modules, or components.

Instead of copying them manually (and risking outdated versions), well, scribe can fetch them directly from a private repo.

Plus, it costs 💰 to host private npm/composer/etc.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install Scribe using composer, like so:

```
composer require kenjiefx/scribe
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

In your project's `/bin` directory, you will want to add this script:

```
#!/usr/bin/php
