**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.

## 💡 Usage
To get started, pick which branch you would like to use, then run the command in your terminal:
### Stable Branch (Recommended)
```bash
### Dev branch
```bash
## ⬇️ Installation
Linutil is also available as a package in various repositories:
[](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 simplier:
```bash
paru -S linutil
```
Replace `paru` with your preferred helper and `linutil` with your preferred package.

<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))
