Scoop Buckets Mirrors

中文 | English

Especially thanks to https://github.com/duzyn/scoop-cn which currently seems not maintained now.

Why I create

Scoop is a great package manager which is easy and simple. However, the downloads urls of itself, buckets, packages will impede those who are behind walls(Especially Chinese). Thus proxy is necessary but hard to tackle by manually replacing each urls of buckets.

Therefore I create (follows from duzyn/scoop-cn) the proxy-oriented buckets.

If you don't have the downloads problem for scoop and its package installation, you don't have to use it.

Introduction

In order to solve the problem, we replace urls by mirror one with variables replacement. To check the concrete replacement, please check config

Features:

• The buckets of repo：main extras versions nirsoft sysinternals php nerd-fonts nonportable java games. You are welcome to pull request for more buckets needing mirrors.
• Updated per 4 hours.

Installation

Prerequisite

PowerShell Should be >= 5.1, which should be common for every windows user. Otherwise you have to refer PowerShell Installation Tutorial.

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major >= 5.1

Second, you should change the ExecutionPolicy to execute scripts.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Scoop

You should have scoop already, if not, watch below, if so, skip to Buckets section.

• Please notice to your scoop installation location. We use $env:USERPROFILE\scoop\ as the default location.
• Please notice the bucket name you added. We use spc as the default name.
• If you use custom name or path, please modify your own.

In your Powershell, input below commands to download and execute installation of scoop.

Invoke-WebRequest https://gh-proxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ScoopInstaller/Install/master/install.ps1 | Invoke-Expression # For user behind walls

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression # For native user

It only downloads installation script with mirrors. Then, you need to modify the configuration and bucket too.

Buckets

• Add our bucket:

scoop bucket add spc https://gh-proxy.com/https://github.com/lvyuemeng/scoop-cn # You can change `spc` to other name, if so, modify below name `spc` too.

• Change your installed apps to resolve our bucket. Each <scoop-dir>\apps\<app>\current\install.json could be modified to resolve our bucket.

Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\scoop\apps" -Recurse -Filter "install.json" | ForEach-Object { (Get-Content -Path $_.FullName -Raw) -replace '"bucket": "(main|extras|versions|nirsoft|sysinternals|php|nerd-fonts|nonportable|java|games)"', '"bucket": "spc"' | Set-Content -Path $_.FullName }

• Check our modification:

Installed apps:

Name          Version           Source         Updated               Info
----          -------           ------         -------               ----
7zip          24.08             main           ...
git           2.47.0.2          main           ...

Change to:

Installed apps:

Name          Version           Source         Updated               Info
----          -------           ------         -------               ----
7zip          24.08             spc            ...
git           2.47.0.2          spc            ...

Other Buckets(Optional)

If you want to modify your other scoop bucket upstream url (Which is the url your bucket to synchronize the remote one.), you could change by below commands, notice you should have git:

scoop config scoop_repo https://gh-proxy.com/https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop # Change Scoop upstream
git -C "$env:USERPROFILE\scoop\buckets\main" remote set-url origin https://gh-proxy.com/https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main # Change Main bucket upstream
git -C "$env:USERPROFILE\scoop\buckets\scoop-cn" remote set-url origin https://gh-proxy.com/https://github.com/duzyn/scoop-cn # Change scoop-cn bucket upstream
# Others...
