Upon close inspection, it turns out that for jq there is no arm64 binary for jq-1.6 (latest stable release):

Downloading jqlang/jq… (at label: jq…)
[gh-r] Error: bpick ice found no release assets. To fix, modify the bpick glob pattern *macos-arm*
[gh-r] Error: No GitHub release assets found for jq-1.6

Fixed it by bpicking the pre-release version of jq where macos-arm64 binary is published.

For exa I had to resort to using zinit-annex-rust to fix my issue since exa does not publish macos-arm64 binaries to github releases:

zinit ice rustup cargo'exa' as"command" pick"bin/exa"
zinit load zdharma-continuum/null

@rrpolanco,

Exa is unmaintained and the maintained fork is exa-community/eza. Unfortunately, it does not yet have macOS binaries (I'm working on a PR to add it as a build target).

You shouldn't have any issue using the x86_64 exa binary.

I use the follwing recipe (GitHub link):

zi aliases from'gh-r' lbin'!' light-mode nocompile for \
    atload"!(){setopt no_aliases;alias l='eza -blF';alias la='eza -abghilmu';alias ll='eza -al';alias ls='eza --git --group-directo
ries-first';}" \
    if'[[ $VENDOR != apple ]]' \
  @eza-community/eza \
    atload"!(){setopt no_aliases;alias l='exa -blF';alias la='exa -abghilmu';alias ll='exa -al';alias ls='exa --git --group-directo
ries-first';}" \
    if'[[ $VENDOR = apple ]]' \
  @ogham/exa

---

You can simplify your jq recipe by using the binary-symlink annex.

zi load @zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-binary-symlink
zi from'gh-r' lbin'!' for @jqlang/jq

Note

Ignore the debug logging (set via export ZINIT[DEBUG]='1')
