I started this as a learning project to learn development side of C but figured it could be much better than that since there are no package managers exclusively for C written in pure C.

The entire package manager is written purely in C and works on windows, linux or macOS

Besides it being a learning project for yourself. Why should people care about it more then something like conan? I don't want to downplay your project. But you need to bring something interesting or new to table to get people interested.

Me personally I don't think that package managers will ever be a widely used thing in the C/C++ world. Both languages are mostly used in low level or close to Hardware programming. Both requiring good understanding and knowledge of the Hardware you are running on. And this is contrary to the benefits a package manager offers, which is General purpose and easy to reuse code.

C is a general purpose programming language. People also use it for high level software in certain parts of the software world, not just low level.

I just have a few more features left that I want to implement and that’ll conclude the development of the core package manager but rest depends on bringing packages into the repository
