Install

Arch Linux

Install the context-git AUR package with an AUR helper:

yay -S context-git

context-git is a source package. It builds from the GitHub repository and installs the context binary plus Bash, Fish, and Zsh completions.

Build Locally

Use the mise tasks to install dependencies and build the binary. The repo pins Node and Bun through mise.

mise run install
mise run build

The compiled binary is written to dist/context. Run it directly or put it somewhere on your PATH:

./dist/context --help

Build an Arch Package

Create a local Arch package from the compiled binary:

mise run package:arch

This task is Arch-specific and needs makepkg from base-devel. The package is written to dist/ and includes shell completions.
