Package
Packages can be installed and downloaded manually but with the help of the package command it can work much quicker. It does this by looking for packages within a list of sources defined in fuel/core/config/package.php and like any other config file can be edited there or copied to the fuel/app/config folder.
Oil is smart, so it will check to see if you have Git installed on your computer before it does anything with the package command. If you do have Git installed Oil will install a package as a Git repository instead of directly downloading the files, meaning updates, new releases and tracking custom changes to packages could not be easier.
