Bonsai

Originally the package manager of a now extinct hobby Linux distribution, bonsai is small package manager meant to be cross-platform and extremely simple to use. Written in POSIX shell with only basic UNIX utilities as dependencies, it's meant to be able to be pulled down on any machine to quickly get access to the programs you need, root access not required.

Nowadays I personally use it for miscellaneous things not commonly found in distros. Not meant for public use.

Maybe it will be helpful to you too.
Feel free to open github issues/PR as needed.
