Key additions include a new --verbose flag for detailed diagnostics, automatic data migration on Linux to fix directory collision issues, and an improved install script that automatically adds godman to PATH. Several Linux-specific bugs were fixed, including install path collisions, broken cleanup, missing process environment variables, and shim directory PATH issues. The release also includes internal refactoring with shared utility extraction and expanded test coverage. ## Content godman is an open-source console/TUI tool for managing Godot Engine installations on Linux and Windows. Version 1.1.0 focuses on making the Linux experience rock-solid and adds a new verbose diagnostics system. #### What's new **Verbose diagnostic warnings (**`--verbose`**)** Every command now supports a `--verbose` flag that surfaces detailed diagnostic info, environment state, path resolution, shim status, and more. Great for troubleshooting or just understanding what godman is doing behind the scenes. **Automatic data migration (Linux)** Older versions stored data in a location that could collide with the godman binary itself, causing commands to fail. v1.1.0 introduces automatic migration to a new, conflict-free directory layout. The `doctor` command detects whether migration is needed and walks you through it. **Linux install script improvements** The one-liner install script now automatically adds godman to your PATH, so you no longer need to manually edit your shell profile after installing. **Bug fixes** - Fixed install path colliding with the godman binary on Linux - Fixed clean-up not working correctly on Linux - Fixed missing process environment variable on Linux activation - Fixed TUI Doctor not running all checks - Fixed shim directory not being added to PATH on Linux **Under the hood** Shared utility extraction, removed dead code, and new test coverage for environment service, installer service, process helpers, and app paths. #### Get started Install on Linux: ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jame581/GodotManager/main/install.sh | bash ``` Install on Windows: ``` winget install --id JanMesarc.GodMan ``` GitHub repo: https://github.com/jame581/GodotManager ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Maintenance release: Godot 4.6.1 – Godot Engine](https://daily.dev/posts/maintenance-release-godot-4-6-1-godot-engine-xonckqkkx) · Godot · 36 upvotes · 1 comments - [New Godot Editor With Performance & UX Improvements](https://daily.dev/posts/new-godot-editor-with-performance-ux-improvements-w8g7eqavi) · 80 LEVEL · 19 upvotes · 2 comments - [Lutris 0.5.20 Linux Game Manager Brings New Features, Wine Wayland Option](https://daily.dev/posts/lutris-0-5-20-linux-game-manager-brings-new-features-wine-wayland-option-ub18uknlo) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#cli](https://daily.dev/tags/cli), [#godot](https://daily.dev/tags/godot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/godman-v1-1-0---major-linux-reliability-update-hhfuay4dn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/godman-v1-1-0---major-linux-reliability-update-hhfuay4dn","headline":"godman v1.1.0 - Major Linux Reliability Update","text":"godman v1.1.0 is a major reliability update for the open-source TUI/console tool that manages Godot Engine installations on Linux and Windows.
