bget

Download and install binary files from GitHub Releases.

Preview

Install

For Mac/Linux users, you can use Homebrew to install it:

brew install egoist/tap/bget

For others:

# Feel free to change the -b flag to use another directory
curl -fsSL https://install.egoist.sh/bget.sh | bash \
    -s -- -b /usr/local/bin

Or just grab the latest release from GitHub Releases.

Usage

bget owner/repo [-b bin_name] [-d install_dir]

# Download from a specific release
bget owner/repo#v1.2.3

• bin_name defaults to the name of the GitHub repo.
• install_dir defaults to /usr/local/bin.

It will look for executable files (as well as compressed files) in the release assets, if it's a compressed file we simply use the largest file inside it.

bget owner/repo --token GITHUB_TOKEN

# Or using environment variable
env GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx bget owner/repo
