[chshersh]

The changes look good! 👍🏻

But the CI is failing. Not sure why tbh 🤔
@jim4067 What error do you get if you run tool-sync locally by trying to download tool-sync itself?

[jim4067]

not sure whether it is related but, I am IO error that the config file doesn't exists.

Even after creating the file and adding the default config, the error still persists

[MitchellBerend]

It works with mine but I get a different error, maybe there is a typo in your file name?

# tool-sync provides native support for some of the tools without the need to

[ripgrep]
[tool-sync]
#
# You can configure the installation of any tool by specifying corresponding options:

#    owner     = "cli"  # GitHub repository owner
#    repo      = "cli"     # GitHub repository name
#    exe_name  = "gh"          # Executable name inside the asset
#
#     Uncomment to download a specific version or tag.
#     Without this tag latest will be used
#     tag       = "13.0.0"

#     Asset name to download on linux OSes

#     Uncomment if you want to install on macOS as well

A question

• doesn't tool-sync generate a .tool.toml that already contains the default configuration? Do I need to fill in this information like store directory?

[MitchellBerend]

You can generate a default by running tool default-config > ~/.tool.toml but this is a manual step.

@MitchellBerend Maybe it can be a future feature request to create the file with default configuration. As I am on Linux, I think this will require implementation of #71 first

[jim4067]

@chshersh I tried installing it but the connection timed out (multiple times).

I then tried installing exa as a control and it worked, not sure what the error was

[MitchellBerend]

What distro are you running @jim4067?

[jim4067]

@MitchellBerend I'm running Pop OS

NAME="Pop!_OS"
VERSION="22.04 LTS"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

[MitchellBerend]

Huh, thats weird Im running ubuntu 22.04 lts. Can you follow that link in your browser or does that also time out?

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

I think I was having connection problems.

Similar issue of multiple name matches

The changes in this PR look great and CI finally passes! 🎉 Happy to merge the PR 🚢

As for generating the default configuration, this was discussed before. I don't think we need to do this but we still can improve UX. I created a separate issue to improve the error message when there's no configuration found:
