GRPM is a command-line tool written in Go that helps you discover, manage, and install GitHub releases. It functions as a package manager specifically designed for GitHub releases, allowing you to search repositories, view release information, and download assets directly from your terminal.

Download the tool from the releases.

• Extract the Archive:

  Unpack the downloaded file to access the executable:

tar -xzf grpm.tar.gz

• Move to System Path:

  Move the grpm binary to /usr/local/bin so it can be accessed globally as a command:

sudo mv grpm /usr/local/bin/

• Set Permissions:

  Ensure the file has the necessary permissions to run as an executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/grpm

• Extract the Binary: Right-click the .zip file and select Extract All.... Inside, you will find the grpm.exe executable.

• Move to a Permanent Folder (Optional): Move grpm.exe to a dedicated folder where it won't be accidentally deleted. Example: C:\Program Files\grpm\ or C:\bin\

• Add to System PATH: To run grpm from any Command Prompt or PowerShell window, you must add it to your PATH:

1. Open the Start Search, type "env", and select Edit the system environment variables.

2. Click the Environment Variables button.

3. Under User variables, select Path and click Edit.

4. Click New and paste the path to the folder where you moved the .exe (e.g., C:\bin).

5. Click OK on all windows to save.

git clone https://github.com/hish22/grpm.git
cd grpm
go build -o grpm ./cmd/grpm.go

Before using GRPM, initialize the configuration file:

grpm -d

This creates ~/.config/grpm/config.toml with default settings.

Show current configuration:

grpm config --show

Edit configuration directly:

grpm config --open

Configuration options include:

• install_dir: Where assets are installed.
• download_dir: Where files are downloaded.
• os: Operating system filter.
• arch: Architecture filter.

Search for GitHub repositories:

grpm search --repo <name>

Sort results by stars:

grpm search --repo <name> --sort stars --order desc    # Most stars first
grpm search --repo <name> --sort stars --order asc     # Fewest stars first

Get repository details and README:

grpm info --owner <owner> --repo <name>

You can also provide just one of them:

grpm info --owner <owner>    # Uses most starred repo by owner
grpm info --repo <name>      # Uses most starred repo with that name

View latest releases (limited to 5):

grpm release --repo <owner>/<repo> --latest

View the latest release:

grpm release --repo <owner>/<repo> --latest-release

View a specific release by tag:

grpm release --repo <owner>/<repo> --tag v1.0.0

Install the latest release:

grpm install --repo <owner>/<repo>

Install a specific version:

grpm install --repo <owner>/<repo> --tag v1.0.0

Auto-extract and setup the binary:

grpm install --repo <owner>/<repo> --setup

During installation, select an asset from the available release assets.

View all installed releases:

grpm list

Check if a specific installed release has a newer version available:

grpm update --repo <owner>/<repo> --check

Update a specific release to the latest version:

grpm update --repo <owner>/<repo> --latest

Remove an installed release:

grpm remove --repo <owner>/<repo>

Clear the search cache:

grpm cache --clear
