Consider making --always-install the default #197

Open devtooligan opened 1 year ago

devtooligan commented 1 year ago

I was poking around the code and discovered this great --always-install. It doesn't show up on the top level of help (and I previously didn't realize it shows up with no description if you do solc-select use --help.

But personally I think solc-select should --always-install by default and we change this option to --never-install

Either way, I think it would be nice to have this option listed on the top help screen.

This issue got me again today.

I was thinking if there was a concern about automatically installing it we could accept user input like "Version 0.8.19 is not installed. Install y/N?"

I agree. We could add an --offline flag if users want to opt out of downloading

Hi, I up am for solving this issue, please explain what is to be done in brief, as the details given above are not comprehensive...

It would involve making the --always-install the default. removing that particular clarg. and then adding a new clarg called "--offline" which would make it not install by default.
