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 do exactly, do you still need them.
You have a variety of useful tools for day-to-day activities in the terminal, whether you're a developer or operations professional. These tools include jq, fzf, exa, and more. However, it's often difficult to determine if these tools are up to date, where they originate from, their exact functionality, and whether you still need them.
Few of them are part of you OS package manager. Most of the time of old version. And you may not want to install them system wide actually.
Some of these tools are included in your operating system's package manager, but they are often outdated. Additionally, you may prefer not to install them system-wide.
Cliget lists, installs and updates standalone command line utilities in your user profile.

#### Q: I already use [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/), why would I need cliget ?
asdf is a wonderful tool when it comes to do software development in various programming language while mixing versions from one project to an other.
But this power comes with some constraints : a plugin has to be developed in order to integrate a new tool to asdf ; And versions of every tool that will be used for a project has to be declared in a config file.
CliGet does not handle multi-versions and tools are deployed for your whole profile.

In short, if you want to manage development environment, use asfd. If you want to install small tools, use CliGet. They do not conflict, they are complement each other.

#### I already use the package manager of my OS to install tools, why would I need cliget ?
#### Q: I already use the package manager of my OS to install tools, why would I need cliget ?
Package managers handle dependencies and install software system wide, for all users. Not all softwares are packaged for all OS distributions because this is hard work for maintainers. So you end up with some softwares not available or not up to date.
CliGet only install standalone programs, in the user profile (`.local/bin`). It does its best to find the last version and the best way to install the software. There is no need to package for CliGet.

These are package managers for the user profile. They come with heavy runtime. And, as classic package manager, not all tools are packaged nor up to date as it requires work from maintainers.

#### Q: 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 software dev team. We are different teams.

Currently only Linux is supported. It should work on all Unix like OS. For others, contributions are welcome as long as they do not complicate the tool too much.
