Git Quick AssetZ (quaz)

A TUI (tview) tool written in Go for downloading assets from git releases with ease.

Why?

I needed a tool with a user-friendly UI to quickly hand pick and download specific assets from releases of tool repository when working on CTF/HTB challenges.

Note: quaz only displays the non-default assets for each release. In other words, source zip and tar.gz files are not shown. This is intended behavior, because downloading them are no different to cloning the repository.

Build and run

Install using go ($GOPATH must be in your environment variables in order to use quaz from everywhere):

go install github.com/ArmanHZ/git-quick-assetz/cmd/quaz@latest

To build and run, you can use the build_and_run.sh or manually as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ArmanHZ/git-quick-assetz.git
go build -o ./quaz ./cmd/quaz/quaz.go
./quaz

If you want, you can move the quaz to somewhere that is in your path and use it from anywhere you want.

Usage

• The movement keys for switching componentgs, eg. buttons, are Tab and Shift+Tab.
• Moving within the components, eg. navigating through a list, arrow keys or j/k keys work.
• The action key is Enter, eg. after you input your URL, hit enter to pull the asset list.
• Everytime you pull the assets of a repo, the URL gets saved in this file: $HOME/.config/quaz/hist.json.
  • This allows you to press ctrl+f when the url input is in focus to quickly re-use the previously navigated repos.
• By default, your current working directory will be shown in the Save location input field.
• If you don't want to type the path manually, you can just launch quaz in the directory that you want to download the assets into.

Screenshots and functionalities

With the default color scheme of Windows Terminal, the TUI app looks like this:
