Display information¶
In order to get more information about an index or package, you can use the explain sub-command. Use either index or package as first argument, and the name of the index or package as second.
Index metadata¶
This is how to get metadata for the binaries index:
> bring explain index binaries binaries (Single file, compiled applications.) desc This index contains single-file binaries that don't require any dependencies to be installed in order to work. By default, those binaries will be installed into '$HOME/.local/bring', using the default 'bring' merge strategy (save metadata about each installed file, more information can be found here. metadata_timestamp 12 minutes ago uri https://gitlab.com/bring-indexes/binaries/-/raw/master/.bring/this.idx.br defaults arch: x86_64 node: runner-ed2dce3a-project-16661005-concurrent-0 os: linux target: ~/.local/bring index_type git_repo config git_url: https://gitlab.com/bring-indexes/binaries.git version: master packages argo Container native workflow engine for Kubernetes supporting both DAG and step based workflows. argo-cd Declarative continuous deployment for Kubernetes. bat a 'cat' clone with wings. dbmate a database migration tool dust like du but more intuitive eclectica Cool and eclectic version manager for any language eclectica-proxy Cool and eclectic version manager for any language fd fd is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. helm A Kubernetes Package Manager hugo a static site generator k3d Little helper to run Rancher Lab's k3s in Docker k3sup from Zero to KUBECONFIG in less than 1 min krew 📦 Find and install kubectl plugins kube-prompt An interactive kubernetes client featuring auto-complete. kubectl kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager lazydocker The lazier way to manage everything docker lazygit simple terminal UI for git commands lsd The next gen ls command mitmproxy An interactive TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy for penetration testers and software developers. navi an interactive cheatsheet tool for the command-line nnn The missing terminal file manager for X. pandoc Universal markup converter terminal-to-html Converts arbitrary shell output (with ANSI) into beautifully rendered HTML tldr Golang command line client for tldr tubectl kubectl alternative with quick context switching, kubectl on steroids wrangler 🤠wrangle your cloudflare workers ytop A TUI system monitor written in Rust zoxide A fast cd command that learns your habits
Package metadata¶
And this is how to get the details for the fd package that is a part of the binaries index:
