Distribute a Pre-Built Binary Across Mac and Linux

Problem Description

An infrastructure engineer uses both a MacBook and a remote Linux workstation and manages their environment with chezmoi. They want to add zellij — a terminal workspace manager — so it's available on both machines after running chezmoi apply.

zellij distributes official pre-built binary archives on GitHub Releases at zellij-org/zellij. There are separate archives for macOS and Linux, and for different CPU architectures. The engineer's machines are:

  • MacBook: darwin, arm64
  • Linux workstation: linux, x86_64

They want the correct binary installed to ~/.local/bin/zellij on each machine, with security verification in place. Renovate should be able to track version updates automatically.

The repo already has:

home/
├── .chezmoiexternals/
│   └── zsh.externals.toml.tmpl

Output Specification

Produce a file proposal.md with:

  • The full TOML content for the external definition (ready to copy-paste)
  • The target file path to create in the repo
  • The Renovate rule needed to automate version updates
  • Commands to preview and verify before applying

The proposal should handle both macOS and Linux, and both arm64 and x86_64 architectures, using a single external definition file.

Do not apply any changes.
