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.
<h4>What’s new</h4>
Verbose diagnostic warnings (<code>--verbose</code>)
Every command now supports a <code>--verbose</code> 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 <code>doctor</code> 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.
