About:
dra is a command-line interface tool designed to simplify downloading release assets directly from GitHub repositories. It automatically detects the appropriate asset for your system architecture and operating system, streamlining the process of fetching binaries. This tool is particularly useful for developers and DevOps engineers looking to automate software installation or update scripts without manual browser downloads.
Key Features:
  • Automatic asset detection based on OS and architecture
  • Supports selecting assets by tag or latest release
  • Simple and intuitive CLI syntax
  • Written in Rust for performance and reliability
Use Cases:
  • Automating the installation of CLI tools distributed via GitHub Releases in CI/CD pipelines
  • Quickly downloading the correct binary for a local development machine without visiting the browser
Alternatives:
  • curl/wget – More manual; requires constructing specific URLs and handling asset naming conventions.
  • gh – The official GitHub CLI; offers broader functionality but requires authentication for private repos.
