@blit-sh/bin

The blit binary, distributed via npm. Installing @blit-sh/bin pulls in exactly one prebuilt package for your platform (@blit-sh/bin-<os>-<cpu>[-musl]) through optional dependencies — nothing else.

CLI

npm i -g @blit-sh/bin
blit open

Bundle the binary in your own tool

The default export is the absolute filesystem path to the blit executable, so you can spawn it directly. Resolution happens on import and throws with an actionable message if the matching prebuilt package was not installed.

ESM

import blit from "@blit-sh/bin";
import { spawn } from "node:child_process";

spawn(blit, ["open"], { stdio: "inherit" });

CommonJS

const blit = require("@blit-sh/bin");
const { spawn } = require("node:child_process");

spawn(blit, ["open"], { stdio: "inherit" });

Helpers

Lower-level resolution helpers are available on the @blit-sh/bin/resolve subpath (and as named exports of the main entry):

import {
  binaryPath,
  binaryName,
  candidatePackages,
  isMusl,
} from "@blit-sh/bin";
// or: import { binaryPath } from "@blit-sh/bin/resolve";

| export | description | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | default | absolute path to the blit binary (resolved at import) | | binaryPath() | same path, computed lazily; throws if unavailable | | binaryName() | "blit" or "blit.exe" | | candidatePackages() | platform package names, in resolution order | | isMusl() | true on musl-libc Linux |

Platforms

Linux x64/arm64 (glibc & musl), macOS arm64, Windows x64 — matching the binaries the blit release pipeline builds.
