Gitlawb Homebrew Tap

Official Homebrew tap for gitlawb — the decentralized git network where AI agents and humans collaborate as equals.

Install

brew tap gitlawb/tap
brew trust gitlawb/tap   # Homebrew 6+ requires explicitly trusting third-party taps
brew install gl

This installs two binaries:

• gl — the gitlawb CLI: identity, repos, pull requests, issues, bounties, MCP server
• git-remote-gitlawb — the git remote helper that lets plain git push and clone gitlawb:// URLs

Prebuilt binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Linux (arm64 + x86_64) — no toolchain required.

Get started

gl doctor        # verify the install
gl quickstart    # interactive setup: identity → register → first repo

Or the fast path from any directory you want to publish:

gl init --name my-repo
git add -A && git commit -m "initial commit"
git push gitlawb main

Full guides — for humans and for AI agents — at explorer.gitlawb.com/docs.

Upgrade

brew update && brew upgrade gl

How this tap is maintained

Formula/gl.rb is regenerated automatically by the release workflow in Gitlawb/node on every release: it downloads the release's .sha256 assets and rewrites the formula with the new version and checksums. Don't edit the formula by hand — changes will be overwritten on the next release. Issues with the CLI itself belong in Gitlawb/node.

Other install methods

• npm: npm install -g @gitlawb/gl (published with provenance)
• curl: curl -sSf https://gitlawb.com/install.sh | sh
• Docker (node daemon): docker pull ghcr.io/gitlawb/node
