About:
Aqua is a declarative CLI version manager that allows users to specify and install tools via YAML configuration files. It ensures reproducible environments by pinning exact versions and supports checksum verification for enhanced security.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration using YAML files
  • Supports checksum verification for security
  • Installs tools on demand without package manager overhead
  • Supports multiple sources including aqua-registry and standard GitHub releases
Use Cases:
  • Managing CLI tool versions across development teams
  • Ensuring reproducible CI/CD pipeline environments
  • Switching between different versions of the same tool easily
Alternatives:
  • asdf – asdf uses plugins for each tool, while aqua uses a registry and declarative config
  • Homebrew – Homebrew manages system-wide packages, while aqua manages per-project tool versions
