0.0.1 (2026-09-15)

First official release. pkgr lists the scripts in a package.json or the tasks in a deno.json, lets you pick one, and runs it with the right package manager in the right directory.

The Linux binary is statically linked against musl with no runtime dependencies. It is 116,840 bytes.

What it does

• Reads package.json, deno.json and deno.jsonc, listing tasks in file order. Comments and trailing commas are tolerated.
• Picks the package manager from packageManager, then the lockfile, then falls back to npm. Deno runs through deno task.
• Arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down move. Typing filters on name and command. Enter runs. Esc or Ctrl+C cancels with exit code 130.
• Runs the task in the foreground with stdin, stdout and stderr inherited, and exits with the task’s exit code.
• Ctrl+C during a task goes to the task.
• With redirected stdin or stdout it prints the tasks and exits 1.

Caveat on the Linux binary

It is built with panic = immediate-abort, which removes about 170 KB of backtrace machinery. A panic aborts with no message. ./build.sh gives a binary that reports panics normally.
