Its `jb` command gives Jsonnet projects a `jsonnetfile.json` manifest and a vendored dependency tree, turning Jsonnet libraries into package-manager-addressable building blocks. ### Project history The jsonnet-bundler repository was created on GitHub on 2018-04-24, and its first commit the same day was titled "Initial commit". The README states the core purpose directly: jsonnet-bundler is a package manager for Jsonnet. The tool evolved around a deliberately simple model: initialize a project, record dependencies in `jsonnetfile.json`, fetch transitive dependencies, and vendor repository subtrees. Its documented limitations, including whole-repository downloads and same-version requirements for diamond dependencies, show a pragmatic package manager built for Jsonnet library workflows rather than a general dependency solver. ### Adoption history The README documents package installation through Homebrew, Fedora, and Arch Linux AUR, which reflects adoption beyond source builds. Within Jsonnet projects, its importance comes from standardizing the `jb init` and `jb install` workflow and the convention of running Jsonnet with `-J vendor`. ### How it is used A typical project runs `jb init`, gains a `jsonnetfile.json`, installs a dependency from a GitHub repository, imports files from the vendored package, and passes `-J vendor` to Jsonnet so imports resolve through the vendor tree. ### Why package nerds care jsonnet-bundler matters because Jsonnet is often used to manage large configuration trees, and reusable Jsonnet libraries need reproducible dependency layout. For package nerds, `jb` is the small ecosystem-specific manager that makes Jsonnet libraries feel installable instead of copy-pasted. ### Timeline - 2018-04-24: GitHub repository creation and initial commit. - 2020-01-08: v0.2.0 release published. - 2020-05-15: v0.4.0 release published. - 2024-08-23: v0.6.0 release published. ### Related projects - jsonnet-bundler is closely tied to Jsonnet itself and to Jsonnet libraries such as kustomize-libsonnet, which the README uses as an install example. ### 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.
