Can this be used from the command line to install software, like antigen bundle package? Because I've skimmed the documentation a bit, and it looks like bundles are defined in a configuration file.

Yes it can be run on the cli, and I usually do that first, to ensure that it installs and activates correctly before putting it into the configuration file.

tversteeg commented 3 years ago

But does Emplace make sense in that workflow? It seems just syncing the configuration file in the same repository already reaches that goal?

antigen plugins can have significant dependencies which would be tracked in emplace. Having the antigen plugin also captured helps keep a temporal log of what is being installed and why.
