About Kennels

Kennels are GLang projects packaged into compressed data, that can be installed on other user machines to use your code.

Your machine contains a registry of all installed kennels, so that when a .kennel file is installed, it can be managed, versioned, and stored safely.

Installing a Kennel

You can install kennels with:

glang install path/to/kennel/file

They can also be installed from URLs:

glang install https://example.com/example.kennel

Kennels are stored in your local machine at:

.glang/

And the registry is inside:

.glang/packages.json

Kennels are installed at the global level; any GLang project on your system can use them.

Managing Kennels

A kennel can be removed using the name in the registry.

glang remove <name>

Using a Kennel

Kennels are imported using fetch. They are referenced with name and version, separated by @.

fetch "name@version"; # name = kennel name, version = kennel version

If version is latest, GLang will pull the latest version of that kennel and use it.
