  "github_readme_excerpt": "# anyzig\n\n\n\nA universal zig executable that lets you run any version of zig. Since you can only have one `zig` executable in your `PATH`, anyzig removes the limitation that this can only be one version. The version of zig to invoke is pulled from the `minimum_zig_version` field of `build.zig.zon`. `build.zig.zon` is found by searching the current or any parent directory.\n\nAnytime a new zig version is needed, anyzig will invoke the equivalent of `zig fetch ZIG_DOWNLOAD_URL` to download it into the global cache.\n\nIn addition, you can also specify the version of zig to invoke by including it as the first argument, i.e.\n\n```sh\n$ zig 0.13.0 build-exe myproject.zig\n$ zig 0.14.0-dev.3028+cdc9d65b0 build-exe mynewerproject.zig\n```\n\nAnyzig also adds a few of its own commands, which can be queried and invoked with `zig any ...`.\n\n# Install\n\nGo to https://marler8997.github.io/anyzig and select your OS/Arch to get a download link and/or instructions to install via the command-line.\n\nOtherwise, you can manually find and download/extract the applicable archive from Releases. It will contain a single static binary named `zig`, unless you\u0027re on Windows in which case it\u0027s 2 files, `zig.exe` and `zig.pdb`.\n\n# Mach Versions and Download Mirror\n\nMach is a game engine that provides a mirror to download the zig compiler as well as its own \"nominated versions\" (see https://machengine.org/docs/nominated-zig/). Mach versions use a different format (i.e. `2024.10.0-mach`) and always end with `-mach`, so, if anyzig sees a version that looks like this, it will know it\u0027s a mach version and that it needs to resolve it to a URL using mach\u0027s download index.  In addition, anyzig will also look for a `.mach_zig_version = \"...\"` property in your `build.zig.zon` file and use that instead of `.minimum_zig_version`.\n\n\u003e The reason for using `.mach_zig_version` instead of `.minimum_zig_version` is that in the future, zig will likely do some verification of the minimum_zig_version field and using a mach ve",
