Private signing keys are stored under ~/.attestack/keys/ and are never written into your project tree by default.

Install from GitHub Releases

Download the archive for your platform from GitHub Releases, verify the SHA256 checksum, and place attestack on your PATH:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kiket-dev/attestack/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or manually:

VERSION=v0.1.1
curl -LO "https://github.com/kiket-dev/attestack/releases/download/${VERSION}/attestack-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"
curl -LO "https://github.com/kiket-dev/attestack/releases/download/${VERSION}/attestack-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256"
sha256sum -c attestack-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256
tar -xzf attestack-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo install -m 0755 attestack /usr/local/bin/attestack
attestack --help

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/kiket-dev/attestack.git
cd attestack
cargo build --release -p attestack-cli
export PATH="$PWD/target/release:$PATH"
attestack doctor

Build the MCP adapter (optional, for AI agent integrations):

cargo build --release -p attestack-mcp

Connect your editor agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, …):

./scripts/setup-agent.sh cursor --with-rules

See Agent setup guide for all supported agents.

Initialize a repository

cd your-project
attestack init
attestack doctor

Use attestack init --update-gitignore to append recommended .attestack/ ignore rules.

Upgrade

Re-run the install script or replace the binary from a newer release. Your ~/.attestack/keys/ identity persists across upgrades.

Uninstall

Remove the binary from your PATH and optionally delete:

• ~/.attestack/keys/ — signing identities
• .attestack/ in each initialized repository — local evidence stores
