A Nushell script to install, update, and manage Zig compiler and Zig Language Server (ZLS) installations.

nu-zigup helps you manage multiple versions of the Zig compiler and ZLS. It allows you to:

• Download and install specific Zig versions
• Switch between installed versions
• Keep up with nightly (master) builds
• Install and manage ZLS for each Zig version
• Create symlinks to make Zig and ZLS available in your PATH

1. Make sure you have Nushell installed
2. Clone this repository
3. Make the script executable: chmod +x zigup
4. Optionally, add the script to your PATH

# Show help information
zigup

# Download and set a specific version as default (defaults to master)
zigup install [VERSION]

# Download a specific version without setting as default (defaults to master)
zigup fetch [VERSION]

# Update to the latest master build (removes existing master first)
zigup master

# List installed compiler versions
zigup list

# Print the current installation directory
zigup get-install-dir

# Set the default installation directory
zigup set-install-dir [PATH]

# Create a symlink to zig in the specified PATH
zigup ln-zig PATH

# Create a symlink to zls in the specified PATH
zigup ln-zls PATH

# Download and update versions.json with available zig versions
zigup get-version-list

# Verify shasum & size of downloaded files
zigup verify-integrity

By default, nu-zigup stores all downloads and configuration in ~/.local/share/nu-zigup. You can change this location using the set-install-dir command.

nu-zigup downloads Zig and ZLS binaries from their official sources and manages them locally. It creates symlinks to make the selected versions available as zig and zls commands.

The script keeps track of available versions using a versions.json file, which can be updated with the get-version-list command. By default, it tracks versions from the past 78 weeks (~1.5 years).
