Binrc

Binrc is a command line application to manage different versions of binaries on GitHub releases.

Usage

There is a main subcommand, install.

install subcommand

The install subcommand Installs a new binary. If that version is not already in the host's cache, Binrc will try to fetch it from GitHub's releases and keep it in its cache.

Versions as environment variables

Binrc supports settings binary version numbers as environment variables. It will search for the binary name followed by _VERSION in the environment to configure the right version.
