Seems very similar to https://dist.sh/ but distillery seems a bit more robust.

dist author here. since darren0 was so kind to reference my tool, I'll just add dist is written in go, is cross platform, can handle github, gitlab, homebrew packages (with caveats), and a few others and you can create custom aliases as well. there are a few additional features in the works right now. also supports signature and checksum verification if available.

There's also https://github.com/zyedidia/eget, which is also written in Go.

Here is my HN submission about eget: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41479539

It's great to see movement in this space. The main problem in my experience is github api and throttling. It's really hard to download 40 binaries while building an image for CI/CD. Binaries themselves are CDNed, but github apis to find them are easily throttled, especially behind NAT.

Need to have some caching mechanism avoid this. Eget seems currently abandoned, maybe gah can start looking stuff in a cache.
