archos prints the current OS and architecture using the Golang namings. It can be useful to download released Go binaries with OS and architecture present in the URL.

golangci-lint releases have the following naming scheme:

golangci-lint-1.43.0-darwin-amd64.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-freebsd-386.tar.gz golangci-lint-1.43.0-freebsd-amd64.tar.gz ...

To install the correct version depending on your OS and architecture, they recommend using their install.sh file as follows:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s v1.0.0

You might not be comfortable executing the curl | sh pattern though. So instead thanks to archos, you can directly run the following command:

curl -Lo ~/.bin/golangci-lint https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.0.0/golangci-lint-1.0.0-$(archos).tar.gz

go install github.com/Thiht/archos@latest

curl -Lo ~/.bin/archos https://github.com/Thiht/archos/releases/download/v1.0.0/archos-1.0.0-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz

$ archos
darwin-amd64

$ archos -format "{os}/{arch}"
darwin/amd64

$ uname -s
Darwin

$ uname -m
x86_64
