Ghr, a GitHub Releases installer built with Zig and for Zig apps too

Developer cataggar released ghr v0.9.0, a GitHub Releases installer written in Zig, marking the tool's first release built with Zig v0.17.0. The release relaxes the minisign signature requirement and adds a new install syntax supporting options such as ?minisign=, alongside improved documentation at cataggar.github.io/ghr. The tool installs releases from repositories including cli/cli, github/copilot-cli, cataggar/zig, burntsushi/ripgrep, nushell/nushell and astral-sh/uv.

I just released ghr v0.9.0 https://github.com/cataggar/ghr/releases/tag/v0.9.0 . The documentation at ghr — a toolkit for GitHub releases — ghr https://cataggar.github.io/ghr/ is much improved. It is my first release using zig v0.17.0. When I create a new development machine, here is an example of what I run to set up my development environment: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cataggar/ghr/main/install.sh | sh ghr install cli/cli github/copilot-cli cataggar/keyring cataggar/zig burntsushi/ripgrep clementtsang/bottom nushell/nushell astral-sh/uv casey/just bytecodealliance/wasmtime I relaxed the minisign requirement in this version. I have a mirror of the stable zig releases at GitHub - cataggar/zig · GitHub https://github.com/cataggar/zig , so these all install the same official zig v0.17.0. The last is the new syntax to support other options. ghr install cataggar/zig ghr install cataggar/zig@v0.17.0 RWSGOq2NVecA2UPNdBUZykf1CCb147pkmdtYxgb3Ti+JO/wCYvhbAb/U ghr install cataggar/zig@v0.17.0 ?minisign=RWSGOq2NVecA2UPNdBUZykf1CCb147pkmdtYxgb3Ti+JO/wCYvhbAb/U For those using AI, the Zig incremental build support is impressive.
