nFPM is a simple and 0-dependencies deb, rpm, apk and arch linux packager written in Go
## Why
While [fpm][] is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on `ruby`, `tar`
and other software.
I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that
was really simple.
So I created nFPM: a simpler, 0-dependency, as-little-assumptions-as-possible alternative to fpm.
## Usage

## Special thanks 🙏
Thanks to the [fpm][] authors for fpm, which inspires nfpm a lot.
