## Project history and usage

DRA is a Rust command-line tool for downloading release assets from GitHub repositories.

### Project history

The devmatteini/dra repository was created in December 2021. Its README positions the tool as a narrower alternative to the GitHub CLI for release-asset downloads, emphasizing public downloads without authentication, asset pattern generation, automatic OS and architecture selection, and optional installation of common archive and package formats.

### Adoption history

DRA is packaged for Homebrew, Arch Linux, Scoop, and winget, matching its role as a small cross-platform utility for users who often install tools from GitHub Releases.

### How it is used

Users run dra download against an owner/repository pair, either interactively or in automation with automatic or pattern-based asset selection. The tool can also be used to update itself by downloading a matching asset from its own releases.

### Why package nerds care

DRA is package-nerd tooling about packages themselves: it automates the recurring problem of finding the right binary asset among inconsistent GitHub Release naming schemes.

### Timeline

- 2021: devmatteini/dra was created on GitHub.
- 2020s: the README documented installation through prebuilt binaries, Homebrew, Arch Linux, and source builds.
- 2026: the project continued publishing 0.10.x releases.
