About:
x-cmd is a lightweight, high-performance package manager and environment bootstrap tool designed to rapidly deploy over 1000 command-line utilities. It leverages a combination of shell scripts and binary distribution to provide instant access to a curated set of tools without complex installation overhead. This makes it ideal for setting up consistent development environments across different machines quickly.
Key Features:
  • Instant bootstrap of 1000+ CLI tools
  • Zero-dependency and lightweight architecture
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Curated registry of essential utilities
  • Fast execution and low resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Setting up a new development environment in seconds
  • Providing portable tooling for containerized or restricted systems
  • Standardizing CLI utilities across a distributed engineering team
Alternatives:
  • Homebrew – x-cmd is significantly faster and lighter, focusing on rapid bootstrap rather than full system package management.
  • apt/dnf – x-cmd provides a unified, cross-platform interface and newer tool versions without requiring root privileges.
