**Linutil** is a distro-agnostic toolbox designed to simplify everyday Linux tasks. It helps you set up applications and optimize your system for specific use cases. The utility is actively developed in Rust 🦀, providing performance and reliability.

> [!NOTE]
> Since the project is still in active development, you may encounter some issues. Please consider [submitting feedback](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/linutil/issues) if you do.

## 💡 Usage
To get started, pick which branch you would like to use, then run the command in your terminal:
### Stable Branch (Recommended)
```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh
```
### Dev branch
```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linuxdev | sh
```

  <summary>CLI arguments</summary>

Linutil supports various command-line arguments to customize its behavior. Here are some common arguments you can use:

- `-t, --theme <THEME>` : Set the theme to use in the application [default: default] [possible values: default, compatible].
- `--override-validation` : Show all available options, disregarding compatibility checks (UNSAFE).
- `-h, --help` : Print help.

For more detailed usage, run:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh -s -- --help

## ⬇️ Installation

Linutil is also available as a package in various repositories:

[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/linutil.svg)](https://repology.org/project/linutil/versions)

<details>
  <summary>Arch Linux</summary>

Linutil can be installed on [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org) with three different [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org) packages:

- `linutil` - Stable release compiled from source
- `linutil-bin` - Stable release pre-compiled
- `linutil-git` - Compiled from the last commit (not recommended)

by running:

```bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/<package>.git
cd <package>
makepkg -si
```

Replace `<package>` with your preferred package.

If you use [yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay), [paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru) or any other [AUR Helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers), it's even simpler:

```bash
paru -S linutil
```

Replace `paru` with your preferred helper and `linutil` with your preferred package.

</details>
<details>
  <summary>OpenSUSE</summary>
  
Linutil can be installed on OpenSUSE with:
```bash
sudo zypper install linutil
```

</details>
<details>
  <summary>Cargo</summary>

Linutil can be installed via [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo) with:

```bash
cargo install linutil
```

Note that crates installed using `cargo install` require manual updating with `cargo install --force` (update functionality is [included in LinUtil](https://christitustech.github.io/linutil/userguide/#applications-setup))

</details>

## Configuration

Linutil supports configuration through a TOML config file. Path to the file can be specified with `--config` (or `-c`).

Available options:
- `auto_execute` - a list of commands to execute automatically (can be combined with `--skip-confirmation`)

Example config:
```toml
# example_config.toml

auto_execute = [
    "Fastfetch",
    "Alacritty",
    "Kitty"
]
```

```bash
linutil --config /path/to/example_config.toml
```
