hello, I'm Kevin, a software eng, i'm working on (and failing at) publishing the Garden CLI to pkgx, which is like a better Homebrew/apt package-manager alternative: https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/pull/3951/files (if anyone has ideas on how to build the CLI from source, feel free to leave a PR comment 🙏 ) I'm primarily interested to see if Garden can help my team setup a full e2e local (and evantually bitbucket CI) test suite and help us catch errors earlier!

Hey Kevin, welcome! There have been efforts to publish
garden
to NPM. I have a PR open here: https://github.com/garden-io/garden/pull/5087
By publishing to NPM that gives us a big speed-up plus makes it a lot easier to package for other packaging systems that generally have build systems available for NPM. See https://github.com/garden-io/garden/issues/4935

That's awesome! Being able to say
npx garden
or
bunx garden
would be amazing!

Yeah! Also the test build I did for a few point releases back is SO FAST. I just haven't had time to bring the PR over the finish line. Very open to contributions!
