Versions:
GodMan is a lightweight console and TUI utility authored by Jan Mesarc that streamlines the acquisition, installation, switching, and removal of Godot Engine builds on Windows and Linux workstations. Designed for game developers, technical artists, CI maintainers, and educators who juggle multiple Godot versions, the program fetches official Standard and .NET releases from the engine’s repository, places them in user or system scope, registers each build in a local index, and exposes a menu-driven or command-line interface for instantaneous activation. Typical workflows include pinning a project to the long-term-support .NET build, rolling back to an earlier stable Standard edition for compatibility testing, scripting unattended installs inside Docker or GitHub Actions runners, and cleaning obsolete folders to reclaim disk space. Version 1.1.0, the fourth public iteration since inception, refines the activation logic, broadens Linux path handling, and shortens fetch times through parallel downloads. Because GodMan operates without elevated rights and keeps every engine copy isolated, teams can share a single workstation or build agent without conflicts, while solo developers can audition nightly builds without risking their primary toolchain. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
