db.create('versions', 'id text primary key, version text');

await cmd.spawn('just -v').then((output) => {
	db.add('versions', { id: core.id.secure(), version: output });
});

console.json(db.get('versions', "where version = '%s'".format(cmd.exec('just -v'))), true);
```

Just package registry can be located [here](https://r.justjs.dev/).

You can find a deeper introduction, examples, and environment setup guides in
