Others can be toggled using command line arguments shown below.\n\n## Installation\n\n\u003c!-- prettier-ignore-start --\u003e\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e `oxidizr` is an experimental tool to help developers and tinkerers play with relatively new alternatives to core system utilities. It may cause a loss of data, or prevent your system from booting, so use with caution!\n\u003c!-- prettier-ignore-end --\u003e\n\nYou can install `oxidizr` by downloading binaries from the Github [releases](https://github.com/jnsgruk/oxidizr/releases/latest). Releases are currently published for `amd64` and `aarch64`.\n\nThe following will establish the latest released version, download the archive and extract the `oxidizr` binary to `/usr/bin/oxidizr`.\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest release\nlatest=\"$(curl -s \"https://api.github.com/repos/jnsgruk/oxidizr/releases/latest\" | jq -r '.name')\"\n# Download and install to /usr/bin/oxidizr\ncurl -sL \"https://github.com/jnsgruk/oxidizr/releases/download/$latest/oxidizr_Linux_$(uname -m).tar.gz\" | sudo tar -xvzf - -C /usr/bin oxidizr\n```\n\nOr you can build and install `oxidizr` using `cargo`:\n\n```bash\ncargo install --git https://github.com/jnsgruk/oxidizr\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThe program must be run as root and supports two main commands:\n\n- `enable`: Activates selected experiments\n- `disable`: Deactivates selected experiments\n\n```bash\nA command-line utility to install modern Rust-based replacements of essential packages such as coreutils, findutils, diffutils and sudo and make them the default on an Ubuntu system.\n\nUsage: oxidizr [OPTIONS] \u003cCOMMAND\u003e\n\nCommands:\n  enable   Enable experiments with oxidizr\n  disable  Disable any previous experiments enabled with oxidizr\n  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)\n\nOptions:\n  -v, --verbose...\n          Increase logging verbosity\n\n  -q, --quiet...\n          Decrease logging verbosity\n\n  -y, --yes\n          Skip confirmation prompts\n\n  -a, --all\n          Enable/disable all known experiments\n\n  -e, --experiments \u003cEXPERIMENTS\u003e...\n          Select experiments to enable or disable\n\n          [default: coreutils sudo-rs]\n\n  --no-compatibility-check\n          Skip experiment compatibility checks (dangerous)\n          This bypasses all system compatibility checks including Ubuntu distribution\n          and version requirements. Likely to result in failure to complete, may lead\n          to system instability\n\n  -h, --help\n          Print help (see a summary with '-h')\n\n  -V, --version\n          Print version\n```\n\n### Example\n\n```bash\n# Enable all experiments\nsudo oxidizr enable --all\n# Enable just coreutils and findutils experiments\nsudo oxidizr enable --experiments coreutils findutils\n# Enable just coreutils experiment without prompting with debug logging enabled\nsudo oxidizr enable --experiments coreutils --yes -v\n# Enable an experiment on an unsupported system (dangerous)\nsudo oxidizr enable --no-compatibility-check\n# Enable an experiment on an unsupported system without prompting (very dangerous)\nsudo oxidizr enable --no-compatibility-check --yes\n```\n\n## Building `oxidizr`\n\n```bash\n# Build with cargo\ncargo build\n\n# Run tests\ncargo test -- --show-output\n\n# Lint / format\ncargo clippy\ncargo fmt\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjnsgruk%2Foxidizr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjnsgruk%2Foxidizr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjnsgruk%2Foxidizr/lists"}
