use CLI

This simple program allows switching between versions of an installed binary. Assuming you have binaries kubectl-1.13.4 and kubectl-1.14.1 installed, use can create a symlink kubectl to one of them by invoking it as

use kubectl 1.14.1

The eligible binaries are taken from and installed to the directory $HOME/.local/bin by default. This behaviour can be adjusted with the environment variables USECLI_BIN_DIR and USECLI_TARGET_DIR, respectively.

get CLI

This program invokes registered helpers to obtain a binary suitable for use.

get kubectl 1.14.1

Helpers are binaries in GETCLI_HELPER_DIR (default: $HOME/.local/bin) that match the pattern get-<base name>. They read the version number from the first command line argument and write the binary to stdout. Examples can be found in the examples directory. Binaries will be installed to USECLI_BIN_DIR.
