Ubi Backend experimental

You may install GitHub Releases and URL packages directly using ubi backend.

The code for this is inside of the mise repository at ./src/backend/ubi.rs.

Dependencies

This relies on having ubi installed. You can install it with or without mise. Here is how to install ubi-cli with mise:

mise use -g cargo:ubi-cli

Usage

The following installs the latest version of goreleaser and sets it as the active version on PATH:

$ mise use -g ubi:goreleaser/goreleaser
$ goreleaser --version
1.25.1

The version will be set in ~/.config/mise/config.toml with the following format:

[tools]
"ubi:goreleaser/goreleaser" = "latest"

Supported Ubi Syntax
