About:
Dotslash is a CLI tool that simplifies executable deployment by allowing you to run binaries directly from URLs without manual downloads or installations. It manages dependencies and ensures the correct version is used for your platform, streamlining the setup process for developers.
Key Features:
  • Declarative executable definitions
  • Automatic platform detection and binary selection
  • No installation or root access required
  • Version pinning for reproducible environments
Use Cases:
  • Distributing CLI tools to developers without complex installers
  • Ensuring consistent tool versions across CI/CD pipelines
  • Running specific versions of utilities for project-specific needs
Alternatives:
  • Homebrew – Homebrew installs packages system-wide, while dotslash runs isolated, version-specific binaries per project.
  • Docker – Docker containers are heavier; dotslash provides lightweight, direct execution of single binaries.
