About
Glu is a package manager for macOS built on Homebrew's bottle ecosystem, offering install times roughly twice as fast as Homebrew on large dependency graphs by focusing on end-to-end install performance. It is written in Rust and adds features like a plan/preview mode, JSON output for AI agents, dependency tree views, and inspectable install traces on top of Homebrew's existing catalog of 8,000-plus packages.
Why it made the leaderboard
Cuts cold-cache Homebrew-ecosystem install times roughly in half and adds a structured JSON plan mode so coding agents can preview and execute package installs predictably instead of blindly shelling out to brew.
