Installs standalone command line utilities in your user profile
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# motivations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You have a bunch of useful tools for day to day activity in the terminal, as a dev or ops guy. Tools like jq, fzf, exa, etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But you never know if there are up to date, where they come from, what do they to exactly, do you still need them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Few of them are part of you OS package manager. Most of the time old version. And you may not want to insall them system wide actually.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cliget lists, installs and updates standalone command line utilities in your user profile.
|
||||||

||||||

# what
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- [ ] download last release
|
||||||
|
- [ ] from GH release
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- [ ] from tar.gz
|
||||||
|
- [ ] list installed
|
||||||
|
- [ ] identify installed version
|
||||||
|
- [ ] can install itself
|
||||||
|
- [ ] have nice defaults (gh release, targz, x86_64, linux, etc.)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] small codebase, preferably one file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## won't
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- manage dependencies like apt or pip does
|
||||||
|
- install system wide
|
||||||
|
- install outside of dedicated folder
|
||||||
|
- install from source, be could (rust/cargo, python/pip, go/go)
|
||||||
|
- uninstall ; user can remove by her/him-self.
|
||||||
|
- overlap with package managers (apt, yum, etc.) or environment managers (nix, asdf, etc.)

# FAQ
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### I don't want to install python on my machine
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CliGet is written in Python but packaged as a standalone program with no dependencies except lic and zlib.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### I don't trust you. What prevent you from dumping me a malware instead of a genuine software ?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* source code is available and very straightforward. you can audit the code, build from source or even write your own version
|
||||||
|
* the tool, will by default, prompt you with clear information of what will be done before install
|
||||||
|
* catalog is only one file, readable, with clear information on where the software is coming from and how it will be installed
|
||||||
|
* also keep in mind you also have to trust the to be installed software dev team. We are different teams.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### I want this for macos or mswindows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently only Linux is supported. It shoud work on all unix like OS. For others, contributions are wellcome as long as they do not compicate the tool too much.
