# bget
> Download and install binary files from GitHub Releases.
## Preview
## Install
For Mac/Linux users, you can use Homebrew to install it:
```bash
brew install egoist/tap/bget
```
For others:
```bash
# 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](https://github.com/egoist/bget/releases).
## Usage
```bash
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.
### Private Repo
```bash
bget owner/repo --token GITHUB_TOKEN
# Or using environment variable
env GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx bget owner/repo
```
### Upgrade bget
```bash
bget egoist/bget
```
## Example
```bash
bget egoist/doko
```
## Development
Build for release:
```bash
go build -o bget ./cmd
```
Development:
```bash
go run ./cmd
```
