Pkgline

A tool for downloading and building executables from Git repositories into the user's local directory.

• Installs binaries to ~/.pkgline/bin (add it to your PATH).
• Resolves GitHub / GitLab / Codeberg / Sourcehut shorthand (gh:, gl:, cb:, sh:) and full Git URLs.
• Native builds for Go, Rust, Zig, Node, cbld/C/C++, Make, and CMake; custom install.sh scripts as fallback.
• Backup binaries (.bak) with rollback after updates.
• Global binary cache at ~/.pkgline/cache/prebuilt/<hash>/<bin> — identical OS+arch+commit builds are restored without recompiling.
• Pkglinefile + pkgline bootstrap for reproducible toolchains, pkgline search for discoverability.
