feat: support for cargo binstall

[KSaiAkshit]

This lets users install the binary directly instead of manually compiling it or grabbing the releases.

PS: You will have to update the version in the Cargo.toml file for new releases from now on!

This is awesome!

Note that on windows, moxide is packaged as a zip. Does pkg-fmt account for this? (I guess is tgz related to tar?)

[Feel-ix-343]

Also we'd want to include this in the installation section of the readme. leave a like if you want me to add

Ah, yes, removing the pkg-fmt should account for the Windows zip problem. And sure, we could add it to the installation section of the readme

[KSaiAkshit]

Does it work now? I don't have access to a Windows machine :)

[Feel-ix-343]

I don't either 😀

The cargo binstall command is not working because markdown-oxide is not on crates.io yet. We could add it, or (I am currently) try to specify the git version in binstall

[Feel-ix-343]

BTW I'm currently publishing to crates.io

I'm struggling a little because tower-lsp is from a git source!

Oh right! I was running it locally using the --manifest-path flag and totally forgot that this isn't on crates.io yet.

Nice!

Yeah, that is a little tricky! You could have a look at these https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6738 https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/7237 https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/7333

[Feel-ix-343]

Is there a way to simply modify the cargo install command to install from git? I was trying to add the --git flag, but it was not working (IO errors?)

This way it can be added now, and crates.io publishing can be added later.

[KSaiAkshit]

Afaik, you should be able to do that. Could you try running cargo binstall --git 'https://github.com/KSaiAkshit/markdown-oxide' markdown-oxide. Once the PR is merged, we could swap out the URL for this repo. you might want to use --force if you already have the binary installed

I'm getting this

~ ❯ cargo binstall --git 'https://github.com/KSaiAkshit/markdown-oxide' markdown-oxide

I'm on nixos as well

This is what i get:

I am really not sure what could be going wrong here :/

[Feel-ix-343]

Just checking: does cargo binstall --git 'https://github.com/feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide' markdown-oxide work? (not the forked URL)

[KSaiAkshit]

Nice!
