The `vcpkg update` command lists all packages which are out-of-sync with your current portfiles. To update a package, follow the instructions in the command.
## How do I get more libraries?
-The list of libraries is enumerated from the [`ports\`](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports) directory. By design, you can add and remove libraries from this directory as you see fit for yourself or your company -- see [Example #2](../examples/packaging-zlib.md).
+The list of libraries is enumerated from the [`ports\`](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports) directory. By design, you can add and remove libraries from this directory as you see fit for yourself or your company -- see our examples on packaging [zipfiles](../examples/packaging-zipfiles.md) and [GitHub repos](../examples/packaging-github-repos.md).
We recommend cloning directly from [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg) and using `git pull` to update the list of portfiles. Once you've updated your portfiles, `vcpkg update` will indicate any installed libraries that are now out of date.
## Can I build a private library with this tool?
-Yes. Follow [our Packaging zlib Example](../examples/packaging-zlib.md) for creating a portfile using a fake URL. Then, either pre-seed the `downloads\` folder with a zip containing your private sources or replace the normal calls to `vcpkg_download_distfile` and `vcpkg_extract_source_archive` with functions that unpack your source code.

## Can I use a prebuilt private library with this tool?
Yes. The `portfile.cmake` for a library is fundamentally a script that places the headers and binaries into the correct arrangement in the `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}`, so to pull in prebuilt binaries you can write a portfile which directly downloads and arranges the files.

+## Packaging Github Repos Example: libogg
+### Create the CONTROL file
+The `CONTROL` file is a simple set of fields describing the package's metadata.
+
+*For libogg, we'll create the file `ports\libogg\CONTROL` with the following contents:*
+```no-highlight
+Source: libogg
+Version: 1.3.3
+Description: Ogg is a multimedia container format, and the native file and stream format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs.
+```
+
+### Create the portfile
+`portfile.cmake` describes how to build and install the package. First we include `vcpkg_common_functions` to give us utilities for carrying this out:
+
+```no-highlight
+include(vcpkg_common_functions)
+```
+
+Now we download the project from Github with [`vcpkg_from_github`](../maintainers/vcpkg_from_github.md):
+
+```no-highlight
+vcpkg_from_github(
+ OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
+ REPO xiph/ogg
+ REF v1.3.3
+ SHA512 0bd6095d647530d4cb1f509eb5e99965a25cc3dd9b8125b93abd6b248255c890cf20710154bdec40568478eb5c4cde724abfb2eff1f3a04e63acef0fbbc9799b
+ HEAD_REF master
+)
+```
+
+The important parts to update are `REPO` for the GitHub repository path, `REF` for a stable tag/commit to use, and `SHA512` with the checksum of the downloaded zipfile (you can get this easily by setting it to `1`, trying to install the package, and copying the checksum).
+
+Finally, we configure the project with CMake, install the package, and copy over the license file:
+
+```no-highlight
+vcpkg_configure_cmake(
+ SOURCE_PATH ${SOURCE_PATH}
+ PREFER_NINJA
+)
+vcpkg_install_cmake()
+file(INSTALL ${SOURCE_PATH}/COPYING DESTINATION ${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/share/libogg RENAME copyright)
+```
+
+Check the documentation for [`vcpkg_configure_cmake`](../maintainers/vcpkg_configure_cmake.md) and [`vcpkg_install_cmake`](../maintainers/vcpkg_install_cmake.md) if your package needs additional options.
+
+Now you can run `vcpkg install libogg` to build and install the package.
+
+### Suggested example portfiles
+In the `ports\` directory are many libraries that can be used as examples, including many that are not based on CMake.
+

+ - rapidjson
+ - range-v3
+- MSBuild-based

+# vcpkg_extract_source_archive_ex
+
+Extract an archive into the source directory. Replaces [`vcpkg_extract_source_archive`](vcpkg_extract_source_archive.md).
+
+## Usage
+```cmake
+vcpkg_extract_source_archive_ex(
+ OUT_SOURCE_PATH <SOURCE_PATH>
+ ARCHIVE <${ARCHIVE}>
+ [REF <1.0.0>]
+ [NO_REMOVE_ONE_LEVEL]
+ [WORKING_DIRECTORY <${CURRENT_BUILDTREES_DIR}/src>]
+ [PATCHES <a.patch>...]
+)
+```
+## Parameters
+### OUT_SOURCE_PATH
+Specifies the out-variable that will contain the extracted location.
+
+This should be set to `SOURCE_PATH` by convention.
+
+### ARCHIVE
+The full path to the archive to be extracted.
+
+This is usually obtained from calling [`vcpkg_download_distfile`](vcpkg_download_distfile.md).
+
+### REF
+A friendly name that will be used instead of the filename of the archive.
+
+By convention, this is set to the version number or tag fetched
+
+### WORKING_DIRECTORY
+If specified, the archive will be extracted into the working directory instead of `${CURRENT_BUILDTREES_DIR}/src/`.
+
+Note that the archive will still be extracted into a subfolder underneath that directory (`${WORKING_DIRECTORY}/${REF}-${HASH}/`).
+
+### PATCHES
+A list of patches to be applied to the extracted sources.
+
+Relative paths are based on the port directory.
+
+### NO_REMOVE_ONE_LEVEL
+Specifies that the default removal of the top level folder should not occur.
+
+## Examples
+
+* [bzip2](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/bzip2/portfile.cmake)
+* [sqlite3](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/sqlite3/portfile.cmake)

+# vcpkg_from_git
+
+Download and extract a project from git
+
+## Usage:
+```cmake
+vcpkg_from_git(
+ OUT_SOURCE_PATH <SOURCE_PATH>
+ URL <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/fdlibm>
+ REF <59f7335e4d...>
+ SHA512 <abcdef123...>
+ [PATCHES <patch1.patch> <patch2.patch>...]
+)
+```
+
+## Parameters:
+### OUT_SOURCE_PATH
+Specifies the out-variable that will contain the extracted location.
+
+This should be set to `SOURCE_PATH` by convention.
+
+### URL
+The url of the git repository.
+
+### SHA512
+The SHA512 hash that should match the archive form of the commit.
+
+This is most easily determined by first setting it to `0`, then trying to build the port. The error message will contain the full hash, which can be copied back into the portfile.
+
+### REF
+A stable git commit-ish (ideally a tag or commit) that will not change contents. **This should not be a branch.**
+
+For repositories without official releases, this can be set to the full commit id of the current latest master.
+
+### PATCHES
+A list of patches to be applied to the extracted sources.
+
+Relative paths are based on the port directory.
+
+## Notes:
+`OUT_SOURCE_PATH`, `REF`, `SHA512`, and `URL` must be specified.
+
+## Examples:

+## Environment and Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+#### VCPKG_DOWNLOADS
+
+This environment variable can be set to an existing directory to use for storing downloads instead of the internal
+`downloads/` directory. It should always be set to an absolute path.
+
+#### VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS
+
+This environment variable can be set to a comma-separated list of off-by-default features in vcpkg. These features are
+subject to change without notice and should be considered highly unstable.
+
+Non-exhaustive list of off-by-default features:
+
+- `binarycaching`
+
+#### EDITOR
+
+This environment variable can be set to the full path of an executable to be used for `vcpkg edit`. Please see
+`vcpkg help edit` for command-specific help.
+
+#### VCPKG_ROOT
+
+This environment variable can be set to a directory to use as the root of the vcpkg instance. Note that mixing vcpkg
+repo versions and executable versions can cause issues.
+
+#### VCPKG_DEFAULT_VS_PATH
+
+This environment variable can be set to the full path to a Visual Studio instance on the machine. This Visual Studio instance
+will be used if the triplet does not override it via the [`VCPKG_VISUAL_STUDIO_PATH` triplet setting](triplets.md#VCPKG_VISUAL_STUDIO_PATH).
+
+Example: `D:\2017`
+
+#### VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET
+
+This environment variable can be set to a triplet name which will be used for unqualified triplet references in command lines.
+
+#### VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES
+
+This environment variable, if set, suppresses the downloading of CMake and Ninja and forces the use of the system binaries.
