Get Started

Quickstart

This guide gets you from install to your first optimized command in under two minutes.

Run the install script on macOS or Linux. It downloads the latest release binary and adds it to your PATH.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfrog/boost/main/install.sh | bash

Auto-detect your editors and CI pipelines, and configure everything in one shot:

cd your-project
boost init

Boost scans your machine to find what's installed — Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Actions, Gemini, Copilot, and more — then sets up hooks and integrations for each one automatically.

Or pick a specific target:

boost init --cursor          # Cursor
boost init --claude          # Claude Code
boost init --github-actions  # GitHub Actions CI
boost init --gemini          # Gemini CLI
boost init --codex           # Codex CLI
boost init --copilot         # GitHub Copilot
boost init --windsurf        # Windsurf
boost init --cline           # Cline / Roo Code
boost init --opencode        # OpenCode

Restart your editor so the new hooks take effect. From now on, your agent's shell commands are automatically compressed and traced. Try any command to confirm:

boost git status

Keeping up to date

boost update

Checks for a newer release and refreshes all installed hook and skill files. Safe to run anytime.
