# hermit Plugin
Per-project tool manager from Cash App. Each repo gets its own isolated set of CLI tools with pinned versions, activated automatically when you `cd` into the project.
## Installation
```bash
curl -fsSL https://github.com/cashapp/hermit/releases/download/stable/get-hermit.sh | sh
```
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Initialize hermit in a project
hermit init
# Install a tool into the project
hermit install kubectl
hermit install terraform
# List installed tools
hermit list
# Run a hermit-managed binary
hermit kubectl version
```
Hermit stores binaries in `bin/` and auto-activates via shell hooks when entering the directory.
## Usage Examples
- "Pin kubectl and terraform versions for this repo"
- "Initialize hermit in my project"
- "List all hermit-managed tools in this directory"
## SuperCLI
```bash
sc hermit env init
sc hermit binary install kubectl
sc plugins learn hermit
```
