xget is the best way to easily get pre-built binaries for your favorite tools. It downloads and extracts pre-built binaries from releases on GitHub. To use it, provide a repository and xget will search through the assets from the latest release in an attempt to find a suitable prebuilt binary for your system. If one is found, the asset will be downloaded and xget will extract the binary to the current directory or path defined as --to argument.

Install a GitHub package:

xget install eza-community/eza --to="~/.local/bin"

xget is a fork of the zyedidia/eget codebase. It focuses on full backwards compatibility with eget, while also bringing forward new features and fixes.
