About:
chsrc is a command-line utility designed to switch software package sources to high-speed mirrors globally. It automatically detects the user's region and selects the best available mirror, optimizing download and update speeds. The tool supports a wide range of ecosystems including RubyGems, Python pip, Node.js npm, and various Linux distributions.

Key Features:

Automatic mirror detection and selection based on geographic location
Supports over 50 software ecosystems and package managers
Simple, unified command-line interface for all sources
Community-driven mirror list with quality metrics

Use Cases:

Accelerating gem, pip, or npm installations in CI/CD pipelines
Improving package download speeds for developers in regions with poor upstream connectivity
Standardizing mirror configuration across development teams

Alternatives:

bundle config mirror – Ruby-specific, requires manual configuration per source
npm config set registry – Node.js only, manual setup without auto-detection
