Go does something like this, by referencing packages through Git url. Of course, 99% of packages you install are through Github, but that's not Go's fault. It has downsides, but its really a great and extensible system.



You can do the same thing with npm and yarn as well by referencing the git+https URL and a tag/branch/commit instead of a version number.
