## 项目历史与用法

modman, short for Module Manager, is a Bash deployment script by Colin Mollenhour, copyrighted from 2009 and strongly associated with Magento extension development. Its README explains the original pain point: some software, especially Magento, forced extension files to be interleaved through core application directories, making version control and deployment awkward. modman answered that by keeping each module checked out under `.modman` and maintaining symlinks into the target tree according to a mapping file.

### 项目历史

In practice, modman became a small Unixy tool for Magento developers who wanted separate repositories for extensions before Composer became the dominant PHP packaging path. It supports Git and Subversion checkouts, a deploy command for already-checked-out code, and a plain text mapping file rather than a package registry. Community Magento posts and extension READMEs used it as an installation path, and a 2015 Magento 2 development article identified Colin Mollenhour as its creator and described the ability to attach multiple local repositories to a Magento project as its key feature.

### 使用方式

The Homebrew formula packages the `modman` executable for macOS and Linux users. Its niche is historical but still legible: it is not a general package manager so much as a symlink-based module layout tool for codebases that predate cleaner extension packaging.
