archos

archos prints the current OS and architecture using the Golang namings. It can be useful to download released Go binaries with OS and architecture present in the URL.

Use case

golangci-lint releases have the following naming scheme:

golangci-lint-1.43.0-darwin-amd64.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-freebsd-386.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-freebsd-amd64.tar.gz ...

To install the correct version depending on your OS and architecture, they recommend using their install.sh file as follows:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s v1.0.0

You might not be comfortable executing the curl | sh pattern though. So instead thanks to archos, you can directly run the following command:

curl -Lo ~/.bin/golangci-lint https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.0.0/golangci-lint-1.0.0-$(archos).tar.gz

Installation

Using go install

go install github.com/Thiht/archos@latest

Using the released binaries

With uname

curl -Lo ~/.bin/archos https://github.com/Thiht/archos/releases/download/v1.0.0/archos-1.0.0-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz
