Our goal is to support as many tools as possible, so expect this list to grow significantly over time.

In general, toolctl currently supports any tool that:

✔ consists of a single executable file
✔ runs on Linux and/or macOS
✔ includes a command or flag to print its semantic version
✔ provides its source code and precompiled binaries online under a free and open source license

If you know a tool that fits all of these criteria, please open an issue and let us know!
