dotfiles VS arkade

I also use Nix, and agree with these caveats. My personal experience is that it can be hard to initially set up Nix, but once you do, it's rock solid. It's particularly great for sharing config across machines. Here's my personal dev environment for instance: https://github.com/mjhoy/dotfiles/blob/main/nix/nixpkgs/conf...

If you omit sudo, then you can move the binary yourself.

And of course, there's nothing stopping you visiting the releases page - or installing my tap and getting it from Brew!

I strongly discourage actually using such a tool in a professional setting for a host of reasons but that is exactly what https://github.com/alexellis/arkade appears to be going for.

If you've not yet heard of or used arkade - check it out on GitHub https://github.com/alexellis/arkade/

For the CNCF landscape of tooling there's Arkade, which would at least cover you on the k9s front. [1]

I built a feature in arkade [1] to pull in binaries for CLIs for infrastructure and developer tooling that I wanted to use - it now has 72 CLIs that you can pull down with a single command and most importantly, as near to instantly as you're going to get.

For instance: arkade get [email protected] yq helm faas-cli

It's not got anywhere near the catalog of brew, and doesn't compile software, or help you find lib-xyz for your Yubikey, but it is really fast and has a growing community behind it.

It works on MacOS, Linux, Windows and arm hosts to determine the correct download URL and pull in a binary.
