Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

If my gem uses the "json" gem that comes with ruby, should I add "json" to my gemspec or not?

I just published v0.0.5 of mullvadrb: Ruby Terminal User Interface for Mullvad VPN

CHANGELOG:
- Updates display for menu, adds separation between main functionality and settings.
- Sets the process name to 'mullvadrb'.
- Updates gemspec.

"Over the years, Ruby has come with many libraries (as part of the 'standard library'), some of which have then been turned into gems and are now included as default gems or bundled gems instead. StdGems.org is a site that shows us what the current default and bundled gems are."

I really wish the Doorkeeper gem was better maintained: https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper/issues/1721

For a security critical gem, the project's tests should absolutely be able to be run on a fresh clone of the repository's main branch.

Oddly, they seem to all pass on GitHub Actions, and I've no idea why:

Does anybody knows there is place to see the total of downloads per day (or week/month), per version of a given gem?
The total downloads and "for this version" in the gem page (in rubygems) doesn't give me an idea of which is the most popular version...

If you’ve ever wondered just how out of date your dependencies are, we have the gem for you! Daniel Huss and Steve Jackson share how they built a gem together to make this easier.
