Install commitdog on Linux, macOS, and Windows

commitdog ships as a single binary with no runtime dependencies. Pick the installation method for your platform below, verify the install, and then move on to setup to configure your platform token.

Linux
macOS
Windows

Run the install script with curl. It detects your architecture (amd64 or arm64), downloads the correct binary from the latest GitHub release, and installs it to /usr/local/bin.

curl -fsSL https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.sh | sh

If you are on Arch Linux, you can install from the AUR instead:

yay -S commitdog-bin

You have two options on macOS: the curl script or Homebrew.

curl -fsSL https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.sh | sh

brew tap aysdog/commitdog && brew install commitdog

The curl script works on both Intel (amd64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) Macs. Homebrew keeps commitdog up to date alongside your other packages.

Run the following command in a PowerShell terminal. It downloads and installs the commitdog binary for Windows (amd64).

irm https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.ps1 | iex

Verify the installation

After installing, confirm that commitdog is on your PATH:

commitdog --version

You should see the version number printed to your terminal.

Next step
