It would be great if I could reference any github repo without needing to have a kurtosis.yml locator.

Be able to use any github repo without kurtosis locator.

Painful; the lack of this feature makes using Kurtosis frictionful.

CLI: the Command Line Interface

Thanks for filing this @barnabasbusa ! I'd love to get more info on the usecase you're thinking about for this

Where I could reference any arbitrary dockerfile in any random github repo, or possibly any url.

This makes sense to me. So just repeating my understanding of this ticket + #2215 , would the following solve your problem?

Kurtosis allows you to use Github locators even if there's not a Kurtosis kurtosis.yml at it (e.g. github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum)
Kurtosis allows you to use arbitrary paths on your filesystem (e.g. /home/barnabas/code/my-custom-microservice)

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR KURTOSIANS:

The above supposes "implicit packages", i.e. we don't need an explicit kurtosis.yml
If we do this, we should have a lockfile to ensure that Kurtosians can't be victim of supply chain attacks. This has been a long time in coming anyways.

Yes, and ideally also allow random urls and use the content of the raw url to build a dockerimage.

e.g pastebin url
