In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Golinks on macOS. Golinks is a CLI tool that allows you to create and manage shortcuts for frequently visited websites, application paths, or any other URLs. The tool is available on the GitLab repository, and we will install it using the macOS package manager, Homebrew.
Before we start, ensure you have installed the following:
If you do not have Homebrew installed, you can install it by running this command on the terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Update Homebrew to the latest version by running the following command:
brew update
Now, we will install Golinks using Homebrew. Enter the following command to install Golinks:
brew install prologic/tap/golinks
To verify that Golinks is installed correctly, run the following command on the terminal:
golinks --version
If all is well, you should see the version of Golinks you have installed.
You have successfully installed Golinks on macOS using Homebrew. You can now start using the golinks command to create shortcuts for frequently visited URLs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
