PMG - Package Manager Guard

🤖 PMG protects developers from getting compromised by malicious open source packages.

This is the npm distribution of PMG, a tool that wraps your favorite package manager (e.g., npm) and blocks malicious packages at install time.

Installation

Install PMG globally via npm:

npm install -g @safedep/pmg

Or using Homebrew:

brew tap safedep/tap
brew install safedep/tap/pmg

Usage

Set up PMG to automatically protect your package installations:

# Recommended: Set up automatic protection
pmg setup install

After setup, use your package managers normally:

# Your regular commands are now protected
npm install express
pnpm add react
pip install requests

Or use PMG manually without setup:

# Manual protection (alternative)
pmg npm install express
pmg pnpm add react
pmg pip install requests
