Official docs describe it as a CLI that gives terminals with local shell support native trzsz file-transfer integration and can also be embedded into Go terminal applications. ### Project history The Go version emerged as part of the broader trzsz ecosystem, where the original trz/tsz idea was to offer rz/sz-like upload and download while remaining compatible with tmux. The Go implementation became the recommended server-side version in official docs, while trzsz-ssh is recommended on the local side. ### Adoption history The project has stronger package-manager reach than the original Python package: official documentation lists apt, Debian repository setup, dnf, yum, AUR/yay, Homebrew, Chromebrew, Scoop, winget, choco, pixi, conda, mamba, Go install, source builds, and GitHub release downloads. GitHub shows around a thousand stars and multiple release assets per platform. ### How it is used Users install the Go binaries as trz, tsz, and trzsz. On servers it supplies the upload/download commands; on local machines it can wrap SSH through `trzsz ssh` so file-transfer escape sequences work in terminals that otherwise do not have built-in trzsz support. ### Why package nerds care trzsz-go matters in package-manager culture because it turns a terminal protocol utility into a cross-platform, statically built tool with broad distribution coverage. It is the version most packagers are likely to encounter for Homebrew, Scoop, winget, conda-forge-style, and Linux repository installs. ### Timeline - 2026: v1.2.0 was released with Go 1.25, Windows improvements, drag-and-drop upload optimization, new packaging options, and tmux CC support changes. - 2026: Official docs recommend the Go version of trzsz on the server and tssh on the local side. ### Related projects - trzsz-go is compatible with the Python and JavaScript trzsz implementations. - It is designed to work with trzsz-ssh, iTerm2 integration, web terminals, and terminal applications that embed Go support. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
