Hey, fun to see my fun little project showing up on HN!
Yes, aliasing the CLI command to a remote script is not exactly best practice. My casual question to myself when I made it was … what’s the literal easiest way I could get this to work on someone’s computer with as few dependencies as possible? This was the solution I came up with. (And in my defense, it is similar to how you install homebrew … `/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://xn--rvg)`, but I get that most wouldn’t trust a somewhat random GitHub account like this.)
If you have any questions about this, let me know! My website (https://jamon.dev) runs on it (in a DigitalOcean droplet) and I’ve enjoyed the experience.
