## What it is
pdtm is a Go-based CLI tool manager for installing, updating, and removing ProjectDiscovery's open-source security tools. It downloads released binaries and manages them in a dedicated bin directory added to PATH.

## Use cases
- install projectdiscovery tools like nuclei and subfinder
- update all projectdiscovery binaries to latest version
- manage multiple security recon tools from one command
- remove unused projectdiscovery tools
- set up a pentesting toolkit quickly

## When to choose
- you use multiple ProjectDiscovery tools and want one updater
- you want binary installs without building from source

## When to avoid
- you need tools from vendors other than ProjectDiscovery
- you need source builds or platform binaries that aren't published
