Script to easily and safely fetch binaries from Github Releases/tags

bin-get

Get binaries from Github Releases in a convenient way!

Why Deno?

• Only dependency for bin-get.ts would be deno itself (To install curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sudo DENO_INSTALL=/usr/local sh)
• Better error management
• Use the power of TypeScript!
• By default no filesystem, network or environment access
• Look at that cute Deno logo!

Usage

Install package in /usr/bin without explicitly installing bin-get.ts

sudo $(which deno) run --allow-all https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HwapX/bin-get/main/bin-get.ts install helm/helm

Install package in a user accessible location:

deno run --allow-all https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HwapX/bin-get/main/bin-get.ts install helm/helm --directory ~/.bin

Or install bin-get

deno install --allow-all https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HwapX/bin-get/main/bin-get.ts
