# bri
Browse Encyclopedia Britannica articles
`bri` is a single pure-Go binary. It speaks to britannica over plain
HTTPS, shapes the responses into clean records, and pipes into the rest of your
tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.
## Install
```bash
go install github.com/tamnd/britannica-cli/cmd/bri@latest
```
Or grab a prebuilt binary from the [releases](https://github.com/tamnd/britannica-cli/releases), or run
the container image:
```bash
docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/bri:latest --help
```
## Usage
```bash
bri --help
bri version
```
This is a fresh scaffold. The command tree starts with `version`; build out the
real commands in `cli/` on top of the `britannica` library package.
## Development
```
cmd/bri/ thin main, wires cli.Root into fang
cli/ the cobra command tree
britannica/ the library: HTTP client and data models
docs/ tago documentation site
```
```bash
make build # ./bin/bri
make test # go test ./...
make vet # go vet ./...
```
## Releasing
Push a version tag and GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser, which builds the
archives, Linux packages, the multi-arch GHCR image, checksums, SBOMs, and a
cosign signature:
```bash
git tag v0.1.0
git push --tags
```
The Homebrew and Scoop steps self-disable until their tokens exist, so the first
release works with no extra secrets.
