🔐 Verifying release artifacts

In case you get the tbll binary directly from a release, you may want to verify its authenticity. Checksums are applied to all released artifacts, and the resulting checksum file is attested using Github Attestations.

Steps to verify (replace A.B.C in the commands below with the version you want):

1. Download the sha256 checksum file for your platform from the release:

   curl -sSLO https://github.com/dhth/tbll/releases/download/vA.B.C/tbll-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz.sha256
   

2. Verify the integrity of the checksum file using gh.

   gh attestation verify tbll-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz.sha256 --repo dhth/tbll
   

3. Download the compressed archive you want, and validate its checksum:

   curl -sSLO https://github.com/dhth/tbll/releases/download/vA.B.C/tbll-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   sha256sum --ignore-missing -c tbll-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz.sha256
   

4. If checksum validation goes through, uncompress the archive:

   tar -xzf tbll-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   ./tbll
   # profit!
