Poor persons package management in Mojo

This is a blog post which includes a bash script I use to check out modules from Github. https://medium.com/@mzaks/poor-persons-package-management-in-mojo-8671aa6e420a

As you might have noticed, if you followed my last few posts, I am currently exploring the new programming language called Mojo.

I did something similar a while back where I wrote a shell script that downloads mojopkg files from github repos. Note that it skips the first line of the file so that I could leave a comment in the requirements.txt.

# sh download_dependencies.sh
count=0
# Process the remaining lines
while IFS=', ' read -r owner repo release destination; do
  if (( count == 0 ));  then
    ((count++))
    continue
  fi
  # Construct the URL
  url="https://github.com/$owner/$repo/releases/download/$release/$repo.mojopkg"

  # Update the destination
  destination="$destination$repo.mojopkg"

  # Download the file using curl
  curl -L -o "$destination" "$url"
done < dependencies.txt

# sh download_dependencies.sh
count=0
# Process the remaining lines
while IFS=', ' read -r owner repo release destination; do
  if (( count == 0 ));  then
    ((count++))
    continue
  fi
  # Construct the URL
  url="https://github.com/$owner/$repo/releases/download/$release/$repo.mojopkg"

  # Update the destination
  destination="$destination$repo.mojopkg"

  # Download the file using curl
  curl -L -o "$destination" "$url"
done < dependencies.txt

requirements.txt:

Because Mojo has no package manager, I've implemented a hacky one myself. The order is owner, repository, tag, and path to install in the src tree. (E.G. "Moosems, Mojo-UI, latest-build, ./")

Theres also a powershell script for the few windows users who may ever see it:

# This may or may not work, I've never worked with powershell
$count = 0
# Process the remaining lines
Get-Content -Path "dependencies.txt" | ForEach-Object {
    if ($count -eq 0) {
        $count++
        continue
    }

    # Split the line into variables
    $owner, $repo, $release, $destination = $_ -split ', '

    # Construct the URL
    $url = "https://github.com/$owner/$repo/releases/download/$release/$repo.mojopkg"

    # Update the destination
    $destination = "$destination$repo.mojopkg"

    # Download the file using Invoke-WebRequest
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination
}

# This may or may not work, I've never worked with powershell
$count = 0
# Process the remaining lines
Get-Content -Path "dependencies.txt" | ForEach-Object {
    if ($count -eq 0) {
        $count++
        continue
    }

    # Split the line into variables
    $owner, $repo, $release, $destination = $_ -split ', '

    # Construct the URL
    $url = "https://github.com/$owner/$repo/releases/download/$release/$repo.mojopkg"

    # Update the destination
    $destination = "$destination$repo.mojopkg"

    # Download the file using Invoke-WebRequest
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination
}

It also only deals with .mojopkg files instead of just downloading the repo
