yatko.app — clean download links for any public GitHub release so that you don't have to be called a "Smelly Nerd" anymore.
Swap the domain — that's it. Same owner/repo path as GitHub, one click to the right binary for your users' platform and architecture.
github.com/cli/cli → yatko.app/cli/cli
Website: https://yatko.app · Source: github.com/argval/yatko
Need a direct download (no landing page)? Add /dl:
https://yatko.app/dl/cli/cli
curl, wget, CI, and other non-browser clients get a linux/amd64 build when the User-Agent has no OS. Pin a target with query params (quotes keep & out of the shell):
curl -LO "https://yatko.app/dl/owner/repo?platform=linux&arch=amd64"
Or inspect the resolved URL first:
curl -s "https://yatko.app/api/link/owner/repo" | jq .
Most GitHub projects bury downloads in a releases page with 15+ assets. Yatko gives you the same URL shape as GitHub, plus smart links that pick the right asset automatically:
| URL | What it does |
|---|---|
/:owner/:repo |
Landing page — same path as github.com/owner/repo, just swap the domain |
/p/:owner/:repo/:version |
Landing page for a specific release tag |
/dl/:owner/:repo |
Detects platform + arch, redirects straight to the right binary. Browsers use the User-Agent; curl/wget/CI fall back to linux/amd64. Overrides: ?platform=, ?arch=, ?prefer=, ?libc= |
/dl/:owner/:repo/:version |
Same, but for a specific release tag |
/code/:owner/:repo |
Downloads the default branch as a ZIP source archive (?tag=v1.2.3 pins a release tag) |
/api/link/:owner/:repo |
JSON with resolved download URL — for CI/scripts (same query overrides as /dl) |
/api/releases/:owner/:repo |
List of recent releases (tag, date, prerelease flag) |
/api/readme/:owner/:repo |
Raw README markdown (install commands / About section) |
/api/search?q= |
GitHub repo search — homepage autocomplete suggestions |
/badge.svg |
Store-style “Get it on Yatko” badge for READMEs (height="54") |
