Installation

The bucky CLI initializes target repositories with the workflow files needed to run Bucky. It creates a branch, adds workflow files, creates labels, and opens a PR.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated
• Access to the fetch-rewards/buck-bronson repository

Install via script

The recommended way to install is via the install script, which downloads the correct pre-built binary for your platform:

gh api repos/fetch-rewards/buck-bronson/contents/install.sh \
  --jq '.content' | base64 -d | sh

This will:

1. Detect your OS (macOS or Linux) and architecture (ARM64 or x86_64)
2. Download the latest release binary from GitHub
3. Install it to /usr/local/bin/bucky (may require sudo)

Supported platforms

OS	Architecture	Binary
macOS	ARM64 (Apple Silicon)	bucky-aarch64-apple-darwin
macOS	x86_64 (Intel)	bucky-x86_64-apple-darwin
Linux	ARM64	bucky-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Linux	x86_64	bucky-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Build from source

Requires the Rust toolchain.

cd cli && make install

This runs cargo build --release and copies the binary to /usr/local/bin/bucky.

Verify installation

bucky --version
