Installer

This is a script for download binary from Github Release and install in your computer.

For a long time, I wrote a lot of tools and released them on Github Release, but I had to write an installation script for each tool.

This took me a lot of time and did a lot of repetitive work.

So I decided to write a universal script, which applies to all repo.

It needs to meet the following format {name}_{os}_{arch}.tar.gz

eg.

whatchanged_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
whatchanged_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
whatchanged_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz
whatchanged_windows_amd64.tar.gz
...

1. Shell (Mac/Linux)

specified the executable filename name

curl -fsSL https://github.com/release-lab/install/raw/v1/install.sh | bash -s -- -r={owner}/{repo} -e={exe}
