Install apps straight from GitHub Releases.
Autonomix CLI is a small terminal utility, written in Go, for installing and managing applications directly from GitHub Releases. Point it at a repository, and it finds the right package for your system, notices what’s already installed, and tells you when a new release lands. It’s for Linux users who get their apps from GitHub and would rather not check each project by hand.
What it does
-
Install from GitHub
Add any GitHub repository URL, or just
owner/repo, to track it. -
Knows the package formats
Recognises
.deb,.rpm,.flatpak,.snap,.appimageand Arch packages. -
Checks for updates
Looks for new releases on GitHub and installs them. Updating several apps asks for your password once.
-
Sees what’s installed
Detects whether an app is already on your system (dpkg, rpm, pacman, flatpak, snap) and shows the installed version.
-
A simple TUI
Run
autonomix-clion its own for a terminal interface built with Bubble Tea. -
JSON for scripts
Add
--jsontoadd,list,check,update,installorremovefor machine-readable output, for scripts and graphical frontends. -
At home on Omarchy
omarchy-autonomix puts your tracked apps and their updates in the Omarchy bar, and a post-update hook updates them whenever you run
omarchy update. -
Keeps itself current
Once installed, Autonomix CLI tracks itself, so
autonomix-cli updatepicks up its own new releases too.
Install
Download the package for your system from the latest release, then install it.
Debian and Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i autonomix-cli_*.debFedora and RHEL
sudo rpm -i autonomix-cli_*.rpmArch Linux
sudo pacman -U autonomix-cli_*.pkg.tar.zstKeeping it updated
Autonomix CLI tracks itself once it’s installed. To add it explicitly:
autonomix-cli add https://github.com/ninepointlabs/autonomix-cliOmarchy post-update hook
To update your Autonomix apps whenever you run omarchy update, install the hook from the repository’s contrib/omarchy folder:
install -m755 contrib/omarchy/autonomix.hook ~/.config/omarchy/hooks/post-update.d/autonomix.hookFrom source
git clone https://github.com/ninepointlabs/autonomix-cli.git
cd autonomix-cli
go buildUsage
Run autonomix-cli for the TUI, or use the commands directly. <app> can be the app name, repo name, owner/repo or the repository URL.
autonomix-cli add <url> # Track a GitHub repository (URL or owner/repo)
autonomix-cli list # List tracked apps and what's installed (no network)
autonomix-cli check [app...] # Check tracked apps for updates
autonomix-cli update [-y] [app...] # Install available updates (-y: don't ask)
autonomix-cli install <app> # Install a tracked app that isn't installed yet
autonomix-cli remove <app> # Stop tracking an app (does not uninstall it)
autonomix-cli about # Version, license, support and privacyupdate only touches apps installed through the system package manager (dpkg, rpm, pacman). Set GITHUB_TOKEN (or GH_TOKEN) to raise the GitHub API rate limit from 60 to 5000 requests per hour. More, including the JSON format, is in the README.
