## What it is
chsrc is a cross-platform command-line tool and framework for switching package manager mirrors (change source) on Linux, Windows, macOS, BSD, and Android. Written in C11, it supports 65+ targets such as pip, npm, cargo, maven, brew, and apt via an extensible recipe system.

## Use cases
- switch pip to a faster mirror
- change npm registry mirror from the command line
- set up Chinese mirrors for apt and brew
- configure mirror sources for cargo and maven across platforms
- speed up package downloads by switching to a local mirror
- reset package manager sources to defaults

## When to choose
- you need one consistent tool to switch mirrors for many package managers
- you work across Linux, macOS, Windows, or Android and want portable mirror configuration
- you are in a region where official mirrors are slow and want quick switching
- you want a lightweight native binary without a language runtime dependency

## When to avoid
- you only need to change a single package manager's mirror once and prefer editing its config directly
- you need a GUI for mirror management
- your target package manager is not among the supported recipes
