Introduction

🦊 fox is a tool helps you install packages from private (and public) GitHub repositories.

If you have a tool that you want to share with the rest of your team (or the entire world) , fox makes it trivial to do it.

What does fox do?

  • Makes is trivial to install a package form a GitHub repository even if it’s private. Fox packages are just GitHub releases, as long as you have read access to a repo, you can install (pretty much) anything you want.
  • Fox installs packages to a specific directory /usr/local/bin/Fox/bin (on macOS and linux systems). It won’t install anything outside that directory.
  • Trivially create your own packages. To add your repo to the available packages list, all you need to do is edit a yaml file. That’s it!

What fox does NOT do?

  • Requires you te learn a whole new set of made up words to use.
  • Run post-install scripts that may do something nasty to your machine.
