Welcome to pkgx, the dev tool that runs anything, anywhere. A single binary that executes commands in any language, runs specific package versions or entire dev environments, across all platforms. Like npx is to JavaScript, pkgx is to everything else.

pkgx has automated release packaging 🚢 If a package that already exists in pkgx releases a new version, our automation kicks off a new build process. That's how we are running Python 3.12 within 5 hours after its release.

Did you know that pkgx has a dev environment tool? To create a dev environment in any of your projects all you need to do is make sure that pkgx is integrated into your shell by running `pkgx integrate` and start the dev environment by running `dev on` and you're ready to go.
