I made a GitHub repo to be a convienient place where people could install the latest version of popular packages by sourcing the latest versions from their official websites (usually their official GitHub repo).
APT is a cool thing but most of the time it doesn't have the latest version of whatever package you are installing and I am trying to change that by this repo I created.
Most often you can install the latest versions using a single command line that can be run in any terminal that supports BASH.
I havn't found a lot of traffic and I was hoping that some of you would take a look.
FYI This is MOSTLY targeted for Ubuntu 22.04 but some of these scripts might work fine for other versions.
Some examples of packages that you can autoinstall the latest versions of are
- Curl
- CMake
- FFmpeg
- ImageMagick
- GParted with all the addons included (like btrfs wich is not available unless you install the dev package)
- 7-zip
- Tilix (Advanced terminal and good replacment for the default gnome)
- WSL2 kernal
- Squid Proxy Server
- Media players (Multipe to choose from)
- Many other useful scripts that boost productivity.
If you think this repo is useful please take a second to show me some love by starring the repository. It would help me stay motivated to continue making things easily accessible for others all located in one place.
Thank you for taking time to read this post. Cheers.
