## Description

This project is a package management tool designed to automate the lifecycle of extensions for the terminal multiplexer. It provides a centralized system for installing, updating, and removing third-party plugins, allowing users to extend the functionality of their terminal sessions through a standardized interface.

The manager integrates directly with version control systems to download and resolve dependencies, ensuring that terminal configurations remain synchronized across different machines and project environments. It utilizes shell-scripted routines to dynamically load these extensions during session initialization, while providing command-line utilities and keyboard-based shortcuts to manage the installation and maintenance of the plugin environment.
