Show HN: GitRel - Install and update binaries via GitHub Releases API

Author here. Please let me know if you have any suggestions and/or constructive feedback :)

Purpose of this "yet another package manager", is to keep all those single binary CLI tools updated on a system. In no way this project is designed to replace any of the full-fledged package managers like HomeBrew and others.

This looks great! There’s also https://github.com/marcosnils/bin that works similarly that you might want to check out!

Thank you! I'm checking out Marcos' project as well, yes, very similar, somehow I missed it while researching if anyone is already working in this direction, before starting on mine!
