macOS support (macOS 12 or newer, Apple silicon and Intel), with the same
panels, keys, folding, setup and AI usage as on Linux. A new platform backend reads
the Mac with its stock tools (sysctl, vm_stat, iostat, netstat, ioreg, pmset, df, ps, route) and never needs sudo. Memory follows Activity Monitor,
and the disk panel shows the data volume where your files live. The Apple GPU is shown.
Where macOS keeps a reading for root, g3rm0n shows the closest one any user can
get: the core layout instead of per-core load, and no temperature.
The installer works on macOS. The same one-line curl … | bash runs with
macOS's own bash 3.2, finds Homebrew's bash 5 (or says brew install bash), and
gives macOS-style PATH hints (~/.zshrc, ~/.bash_profile).
g3rm0n finds a bash 5 by itself when it's started by an older bash (macOS's /bin/bash) or by bash in POSIX mode (sh g3rm0n where sh is bash).
install.sh --from DIR installs offline from an unpacked release or a checkout.
README: a Platforms section that lists what each platform reads and where
readings differ.
Changed
Only run-time files are installed: the program, its modules, the backend for
your operating system, the completions and the license, about 100 KB instead of
the whole repository. Reinstalling removes files left by older installs, and
release tarballs no longer carry tests, rules, CI or contributor docs.
Everything OS-specific moved into platform backends (lib/platform/linux.sh, lib/platform/darwin.sh) behind one documented contract. g3rm0n refuses to start
with an incomplete backend. Linux output is unchanged.
Claude reset times are parsed in jq instead of with GNU date, so they behave
the same everywhere.
The header shows the short host name (mac-mini, not mac-mini.local) and
shortens very long ones, so the OS and kernel always stay visible.
For contributors: every test suite now runs on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and on macOS
14 and 15, through shared portable helpers (tests/lib/common.sh). Two new suites
join them. tests/platform.sh checks every backend against the contract and runs
the macOS backend on recorded macOS output on any machine. tests/install.sh checks
the installed file set, release tarballs and the installer under bash 3.2. scripts/bump-version.sh works with BSD sed, and a release-check workflow
installs every published release with the one-line installer on Linux and macOS.
Fixed
curl … | sh is now refused with the "run this installer with bash" hint on
systems where sh is bash (macOS, Fedora), instead of running in POSIX mode.
