history

Project history and usage

DRA is a Rust command-line tool for downloading release assets from GitHub repositories.

Project history

The devmatteini/dra repository was created in December 2021. Its README positions the tool as a narrower alternative to the GitHub CLI for release-asset downloads, emphasizing public downloads without authentication, asset pattern generation, automatic OS and architecture selection, and optional installation of common archive and package formats.

Adoption history

DRA is packaged for Homebrew, Arch Linux, Scoop, and winget, matching its role as a small cross-platform utility for users who often install tools from GitHub Releases.

How it is used

Users run dra download against an owner/repository pair, either interactively or in automation with automatic or pattern-based asset selection. The tool can also be used to update itself by downloading a matching asset from its own releases.

Why package nerds care

DRA is package-nerd tooling about packages themselves: it automates the recurring problem of finding the right binary asset among inconsistent GitHub Release naming schemes.

Timeline

2021: devmatteini/dra was created on GitHub.
2020s: the README documented installation through prebuilt binaries, Homebrew, Arch Linux, and source builds.
2026: the project continued publishing 0.10.x releases.
