Faster, friendlier replacements for classic Unix utilities, search, navigation, shell history and prompts. Every tool below installs with one apt command from
deb.griffo.io, is GPG-signed, and is rebuilt within hours of each
upstream release, no snap, no manual builds, no stale versions.
π There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever, no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries cliamp, Ghostty, lazydocker, Oh My Posh, Uncloud and Zed; any other tool can be enrolled on request.
