Release v0.14.0 · git-pkgs/git-pkgs
There aren't two of each - there are two architectures per operating system:
So it's 3 OSes × 2 architectures = 6 binaries. Standard cross-compilation matrix for a Go project.
oh
Yeah, Go makes it easy to cross-compile for all those targets so you might as well ship them all.
amd and arm read so similar
They really do. Doesn't help that they're both followed by "64" either. One of those naming choices that made sense to engineers and no one else.
