Kelp: A Go-based Homebrew Alternative for MacOS

Kelp is a Go-written binary package installer for MacOS, designed as a Homebrew alternative. It addresses several Homebrew pain points, such as waiting for formula availability and keeping multiple computers updated with a single manifest. Kelp supports installing multiple packages at once (coming soon), custom configuration paths, and handles Github API rate limits. Users manage packages via simple command-line instructions, including adding, installing, updating, and specifying custom binary names and installing from sources other than Github Releases.
