It manages Pony bundles with corral.json manifests, lock.json revision locks, a shared VCS repo cache, and a per-project dependency tree used to populate PONYPATH. ### Project history The official repository was created in 2017 and describes Corral as beta-level software. Its design notes explain the name as a deliberate sibling to Pony Stable: a corral is like a stable, but distinct enough to avoid confusion with the older Pony dependency tool. ### Adoption history Corral grew out of requirements work comparing Pony's needs with dependency managers in Go, Rust, and earlier Pony Stable workflows. Its design favors source-based dependencies, semver constraints, VCS locators, and checked-in lock files for reproducible Pony builds. ### How it is used A typical project runs corral init to create corral.json and lock.json, corral add to add a dependency, corral update to resolve and fetch dependencies, and corral run -- ponyc to compile with the resolved dependency directories on PONYPATH. ### Why package nerds care Corral is package-nerd material because it encodes a small-language dependency-management model: bundle-vs-package terminology, VCS-backed locators, transitive dependencies, lock files, and a separation between a shared repo cache and per-project checked-out dependency tree. ### Timeline - 2017: Official GitHub repository created. - 2010s: Design documents compare Pony dependency management with Go, Rust, and Pony Stable approaches. - Present: README recommends ponyup for prebuilt binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows. ### Related projects - Related projects include Pony, ponyc, ponyup, Pony Stable, Go modules, Cargo, and other VCS-oriented dependency managers. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
