Hello and thank you for a cool tool. Can I please ask you though to not use that weird ".zip" format for Linux releases? In like here: https://github.com/sst/opencode/releases/tag/v0.6.4

Instead of opencode-linux-x64.zip go with opencode-linux-x86_64.tar.gz or tar.bz2 if you want to be fancy. But zip?! What even is that? 😉

Jokes aside, going with .tar.gz and x86_64 (matching output of arch command) would greatly simplify my automated install scripts. And probably others too.

@perapp commented on GitHub (Sep 5, 2025):

Looks like opencode itself and Grok can do something about it using the prompt:
This project create dists as zip files for each platform. Please have it create opencode-linux-x86_64.tar.gz instead of opencode-linux-x64.zip for Linux dists.

But I don't know how to test it so will not dare to file a PR for it.
