FAQ

What is R3TR0.SH?

A curated library of bash tools and installers. One command downloads a generated script with a whiptail menu to pick and run any entry.

How do I run it?

Download and run the script directly as root:

bash <(curl -sL https://r3tr0.sh/tool)

Can I set up a shortcut/alias?

Yes. Add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

alias rsh='bash <(curl -sL https://r3tr0.sh/tool)'

Reload your shell (source ~/.bashrc), then just run rsh anytime.

Can I use it without the menu (non-interactive)?

Yes. Pass --tool=NAME (or -t=NAME) or --installer=NAME (or -i=NAME) to skip the whiptail menus and run an entry directly:

rsh --tool=example-tool
rsh -t=example-tool

Only one of --tool/-t or --installer/-i can be used at a time. See all available names and flags with:

rsh --help

What about extra options for a specific tool?

Any additional --key=value pairs are passed through and can be used by that tool to skip its own prompts, e.g.:

rsh --tool=example-tool --port=8080 --force=true

Why does it need root?

Most tools/installers modify system packages, services, or config files, so the script refuses to run as a non-root user.

Can I suggest a tool for the library?

Yes, reach out on Discord with your suggestion.
