Install

One-liner (Linux, macOS, WSL)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sahaj-Tech-ltd/overkill/main/install.sh | sh

The installer detects your platform, prefers go install when Go is on PATH, otherwise downloads a pre-built binary, drops it in ~/.local/bin/overkill, and bootstraps ~/.overkill/.

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sahaj-Tech-ltd/overkill/main/install.ps1 | iex

Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\overkill\bin\overkill.exe and adds it to your user PATH.

With Go

go install github.com/Sahaj-Tech-ltd/overkill/cmd/overkill@latest

From source

git clone https://github.com/Sahaj-Tech-ltd/overkill.git
cd overkill
make install-all   # builds and copies to ~/go/bin/overkill
