ekristen··on Gah – CLI to install software from GitHub Releases
Interesting, I'll look into the no-score-check.

Technically there's a config file and you can set the path, it's not been tested a lot on custom paths and I haven't documented it yet, but if you look at the source it'll show you how.

I'm working on a Distfile so be able to install multiple pinned versions at the same time, I'm also working on installing multiple binaries at the same time.

I think compiling go is something I'll stay away from. I think it would be better to encourage folks like mic92 to use goreleaser and publish static binaries.

Thanks for testing. I'm guessing you trimmed the output a bit there, it would normally say you can override using --no-score-check.

I've fixed this and cut a new release, dist 1.0.5.

cool. please let me know when you post, I would like to read. I'm the author of dist if that wasn't clear. Also looking for feedback on the project should you find it useful.

the dist project referenced above supports both caching and authentication for both github and gitlab.

dist author here. since darren0 was so kind to reference my tool, I'll just add dist is written in go, is cross platform, can handle github, gitlab, homebrew packages (with caveats), and a few others and you can create custom aliases as well. there are a few additional features in the works right now. also supports signature and checksum verification if available.
