## Overview

are using tools like [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) and [cargo-dist](https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist)
and many others to pre-compile their software and put their binaries up on GitHub or GitLab.

## Documentation

[Full Documentation](https://dist.sh)

## Features

- Simple to install binaries on your system from multiple sources
- No reliance on a centralized repository of metadata like package managers
- Support multiple platforms and architectures
- Support private repositories (this was a feature removed from homebrew)
- Support checksum verifications (if they exist)
- Support signatures verifications (if they exist) (**not implemented yet**)
- Support signatures verifications (if they exist)

## Install
## Quickstart

### MacOS/Linux
See full documentation at [Installation](https://dist.sh/installation/)

1. Set your path `export PATH=$HOME/.distillery/bin:$PATH`
2. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/ekristen/distillery/releases)
3. Extract and Run `./dist install ekristen/distillery`
4. Delete `./dist` and the .tar.gz, now use `dist` normally
5. Run `dist install owner/repo` to install a binary from GitHub Repository
**Note:** the installation script **DO NOT CURRENTLY** try to modify your path, you will need to do that manually.

### Windows
### MacOS/Linux
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://get.dist.sh | sh
```

1. [Set Your Path](#set-your-path)
2. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/ekristen/distillery/releases)
3. Extract and Run `.\dist.exe install ekristen/distillery`
4. Delete `.\dist.exe` and the .zip, now use `dist` normally
5. Run `dist install owner/repo` to install a binary from GitHub Repository
### Windows
```powershell
iwr https://get.dist.sh/install.ps1 -useb | iex
```

#### Set Your Path
### Adjust Your Path

##### For Current Session
#### MacOS/Linux

```powershell
$env:Path = "C:\Users\<username>\.distillery\bin;" + $env:Path
```bash
export PATH=$HOME/.distillery/bin:$PATH`
```

##### For Current User
#### Windows

```powershell
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "C:\Users\<username>\.distillery\bin;" + $env:Path, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
```

## Uninstall
## Behaviors

- Allow for multiple versions of a binary using `tool@version` syntax
- Running installation for any version will automatically update the default symlink to that version (i.e. switching versions)
- Caching of HTTP calls where possible (GitHub primarily)
- Caching of downloads

### Running install always updates default symlink

**Note:** this might change before exiting beta.

Whenever you run install the default symlink will always be updated to whatever version you specify. This is to make
it easy to switch versions.

### Multiple Versions

Every time you run install it will by default seek out the latest version, it will not remove any other versions. All
versions are symlinked with the suffix `@version` this means you can have multiple versions installed at the same time.

It also means you can call any version any time using the `@version` syntax or if you are using something like [direnv](https://direnv.net/)
you can set aliases in your `.envrc` file for specific versions.

1. Run `dist info`
2. Remove the directories listed under the cleanup section
#### Example

```console
alias terraform="[email protected]"
```

# Architecture

## Directory Structure

This is the default directory structure that distillery uses. Some of this can be overridden via the configuration.

- Binaries
- Symlinks `$HOME/.distillery/bin` (this should be in your `$PATH` variable)
- Binaries `$HOME/.distillery/opt` (this is where the raw binaries are stored and symlinked to)
- `source/owner/repo/version/<binaries>`
- example: `github/ekristen/aws-nuke/v2.15.0/aws-nuke`
- example: `hashicorp/terraform/v0.14.7/terraform`
- Cache directory (downloads, http caching)
- MacOS `$HOME/Library/Caches/distillery`
- Linux `$HOME/.cache/distillery`
- Windows `$HOME/AppData/Local/distillery`

### Caching

At the moment there are two discrete caches. One for HTTP requests and one for downloads. The HTTP cache is used to
store the ETag and Last-Modified headers from the server to determine if the file has changed. The download cache is
used to store the downloaded file. The download cache is not used to determine if the file has changed, that is done
by the HTTP cache.

If you need to delete your cache simply run `dist info` identify the cache directory and remove it.

**Note:** I may add a cache clear command in the future.

Distillery supports authentication for GitHub and GitLab. There are CLI options to pass in a token, but the preferred
method is to set the `DISTILLERY_GITHUB_TOKEN` or `DISTILLERY_GITLAB_TOKEN` environment variables using a tool like

This allows you to bypass any API rate limits that might be in place for unauthenticated requests, but more importantly
it allows you to install private repositories that you have access to!
