zigup

Download and manage zig compilers.

Usage

# fetch a compiler and set it as the default
zigup <version>
zigup master
zigup 0.6.0

# fetch a compiler only (do not set it as default)
zigup fetch <version>
zigup fetch master

# print the default compiler version
zigup default

# set the default compiler
zigup default <version>

# list the installed compiler versions
zigup list

# clean compilers that are not the default, not master, and not marked to keep. when a version is specified, it will clean that version
zigup clean [<version>]

# mark a compiler to keep
zigup keep <version>

# run a specific version of the compiler
zigup run <version> <args>...

How the compilers are managed

zigup stores each compiler in a global "install directory" in a versioned subdirectory. On posix systems the "install directory" is $HOME/zig and on windows the install directory will be a directory named "zig" in the same directory as the "zigup.exe".

zigup makes the zig program available by creating an entry in a directory that occurs in the PATH environment variable. On posix systems this entry is a symlink to one of the zig executables in the install directory. On windows this is an executable that forwards invocations to one of the zig executables in the install directory.

Both the "install directory" and "path link" are configurable through command-line options --install-dir and --path-link respectively.

Building

Run zig build to build, zig build test to test and install with:

# install to a bin directory with
cp zig-out/bin/zigup BIN_PATH

Building Zigup

Zigup is currently built/tested using zig 0.12.0.

TODO

  • set/remove compiler in current environment without overriding the system-wide version.

Dependencies

On linux and macos, zigup depends on tar to extract the compiler archive files (this may change in the future).
