Installation
Through Cargo (Rust package manager)
- Run
cargo install gadd
- You should now be able to type
gadd inside a Git repo in the terminal to manage your changes!
Manually
- Go to the Releases page
- Download the appropriate binary for your OS and architecture under Assets
- On Linux/MacOS: Save the file as
gadd
- On Windows: Save the file as
gadd.exe
- Update your
PATH environment variable to include the folder where you saved gadd
- On Linux/MacOS:
- Using zsh:
echo 'export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> ~/.zshrc
- Using Bash:
echo 'export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> ~/.bashrc
- These examples assume you saved
gadd in ${HOME}/bin - replace it with your own path if you saved it somewhere else
- On Windows:
- Use the Windows search bar to search for "Edit environment variables", and open the suggested control panel
- Under "User variables for [user]", find the one called "Path", and click "Edit..."

gadd.exe
