This lipo is designed to be compatible with macOS lipo, which is a utility for creating Universal Binary as known as Fat Binary.
This can be useful in the following scenarios:
- When using a CI/CD platform (such as GitLab) that does not provide access to macOS or macOS
lipo. - When using GitHub Actions and looking for a cost-effective solution that doesn't involve using macOS.

$ chmod +x /tmp/lipo
$ sudo mv /tmp/lipo /usr/local/bin
$ go install github.com/konoui/lipo@latest
$ lipo -output <output-binary> -create <arm64-binary> <amd64-binary>
For example,
$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o amd64 example/main.go
$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=arm64 go build -o arm64 example/main.go
$ lipo -output hello-world -create arm64 amd64
$ ./hello-world
Hello World
$ file hello-world
hello-world: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]
hello-world (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
hello-world (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
