About:
Eget is a command-line tool designed to simplify the process of downloading and installing prebuilt binaries directly from GitHub releases. It automatically detects the correct binary for your operating system and architecture, streamlining setup without the need for complex package managers. This makes it ideal for developers who need quick, reliable access to the latest tools.
Key Features:
  • Automatic OS and architecture detection
  • Direct downloads from GitHub releases
  • No compilation or complex installation required
  • Simple, single-binary executable
Use Cases:
  • Installing CLI tools not available in standard package managers
  • Quickly updating to the latest release of a developer utility
  • Setting up development environments on different operating systems
Alternatives:
  • curl – More manual; requires scripting to handle release detection and extraction
  • Homebrew – Manages a wider ecosystem but requires formula maintenance; eget focuses solely on GitHub binaries
