examples

to grab the latest tarball for hugo for your specific system

grab -p github gohugoio/hugo

to grab a specific tarball for hugo

grab -p github --filename 'hugo_0.100.1_Linux-ARM.deb' gohugoio/hugo

github is the default provider so it can be omitted, so getting something like hugo could be as simple as

grab gohugoio/hugo

it works with other programs as well, let's try a few of mine

grab barelyhuman/commitlog # go runtime tarball
grab barelyhuman/commitlog -v 0.0.10 # get version 0.0.10 specifically,
# will get the latest version if it doesn't find the tag for this specifically
grab barelyhuman/mudkip # nim lang tarball
grab barelyhuman/statico # go runtime tarball
