What is stew?
Stew is a lightweight, independent package manager focused on installing and managing compiled binaries from sources like GitHub releases and direct URLs. It solves the problem of delayed updates in traditional package managers by allowing developers to quickly access the latest binary releases without system-wide dependencies or sudo permissions.
Developers and DevOps engineers who frequently install command-line tools and utilities from GitHub, need reproducible binary installations across teams, or want to bypass slower system package managers.
Stew offers a fast, dependency-free alternative to traditional package managers by focusing solely on binaries, providing features like lock files for reproducibility, a portable configuration system, and a streamlined CLI for browsing and installing from GitHub.
