ADD nugget instead of git

[ghost]

Hello

If have just a little consideration about adding the nugget manager which comes as a npm module. It acts as the same function as git, but you just need to install it from a local shell with:

npm i -g nugget
# now install a repo using the command below
nugget <url>

It is just an ergonomical aspect. While you need to install git from a pre-compiled binary, I think it is better to install nugget silently from a local shell.

Thanks and regards

Thank you Timon!

What's the main benefit in using nugget instead if git cloning the repository directly? Does nugget only replace git during the download phase?

If you‘ll use nugget you can install it directly from the npm index server. While you need to install the git manager manually from the pre-compiles binaries, I think it just would safe some time while setting up the environment.

If you don't want to clone, you can always download and unzip a repository revision.

Not sure how a managed package helps while committing changes to a repo.
