x-cmd install

Three things to keep straight:

  1. x-cmd — a POSIX shell superpowers toolkit. The thing you install and run.
  2. x install / x eget — two commands inside x-cmd that resolve “how do I get tool X onto my machine?”. x install picks the best available install rule; x eget fetches a prebuilt binary from a GitHub release. (See x-cmd.com/mod/install and x-cmd.com/mod/eget.)
  3. This repository (x-cmd-install/install) — the data those commands consume. Not the code, not the modules — just the curated YAML index: for each of 2,350+ tools, the install rules per OS / per package manager.

In short: x-cmd has the brain; this repo has the lookup table.

📦 2,350+ packages across 70+ categories under src/. 🚀 Daily-rebuilt artifacts (TSV + tar.xz) ship as immutable vYYYYMMDD GitHub Releases at 12:00 UTC (= 20:00 Asia/Shanghai). Consumers fetch from the latest release (marked “Latest”), not from main.
