- But why? Mise does this and more. It can install binaries from github, gitlab, uv, npm, and many more.
- Heck, mise has an HTTP backend that can install binaries from any URL. I use this to manage Atlassian CLI, whose official Windows binary is not on winget.
- Agreed, this looks like a far more limited mise alternative that still requires a completely different tool to run.
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the private binaries concept - what advantage does gzipping and encrypting the binary and putting it in an unlisted gist have over just storing a release in a private git repo only I can access with my PAT or key? Seems needlessly complicated.
- TIL about Mise; looks nifty.
- mise ftw!
- If you're going to let an LLM write docs, at least let them write to the target of the dev. this README seems more internal, or more like a pitch, i suppose. It's weird.
- But isn't this built into uv already? Just point the sources table to GitHub.

- This is pretty cool, I'm doing something similar for binaries I use on my computer - https://github.com/chasen-bettinger/conf/blob/main/binaries....
- This is pretty neat.
I am more used to uv than pixi or mise so it would be an easier addition to my workflow.
However I do think it would probably be nicer if this kind of approach used conda packages as a source of truth. So kind of like pixi but without pixi!
- For pixi we also created a octoconda & a "github-releases" channel: https://prefix.dev/blog/octoconda-repackage-github-binary-re...
