A comment on GitHub: sysget – A front-end for every package manager.

How does this handle edge cases like needing to run 'brew link' etc. occasionally?

What happens when multiple package managers provide the same package?

A look at the source code shows that it decides what package manager it should use by using a config file, and to install a package it runs system("brew install asdf") so I guess you would see a message telling you to run 'brew link' from the homebrew output.
