Package Control
Package Control is a package manager for the Sublime Text editor designed for discovering, installing, and updating extensions and plugins. It utilizes a JSON-based repository system to track package versions and source URLs, providing a framework for managing the editor's extended functionality.
The system integrates with version control systems to allow plugins to be cloned directly, enabling source-level modifications and tracked updates. It further provides a mechanism for cross-platform configuration synchronization to maintain consistent sets of installed packages and settings across different operating systems.
The tool covers a broad range of management capabilities, including automated dependency resolution, package state toggling, and the ability to override package files through a dedicated user directory. It also includes utilities for plugin developers to bundle binaries, validate metadata, and publish extensions to custom repositories.
The software supports network proxy configuration for routing requests through secure gateways and provides debug log generation for diagnosing technical failures.
