Zigfetch: Fetch zig packages, utilizing libcurl

zigfetch | Zigcli

zigfetch behaves similarly to zig fetch, but utilizing the capabilities of libcurl for its functionality.

Since the HTTP support within Zig’s standard library isn’t currently stable, this proxy issue make it even harder, resulting in multiple errors occurring during dependency downloads when building Zig projects.

This poses a significant challenge for Chinese developers owing to the Great Firewall.

As a consequence, zigfetch was developed; this tool operates via libcurl to ensure that both the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables function correctly.
