Print binary path for asset filtering #208

Closed sascha-andres closed 3 months ago

sascha-andres commented 4 months ago

Sometimes I have to use multiple assets from a release to have that software up and running. For example when using https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue I have to use pueue and pueued.

My issue is, that on update I cannot see whether I have to choose pueued or pueue, often ending up in a state where the server binary is the client binary and vice versa.

Therefore the intention of this PR is to print the binary path to be able to make an informed decision.

This is correct, but I think this should be solved better instead of prompting the user what to do. For example, if I do bin update pueue, bin should already know which binary was installed before and shouldn't ask again to pick a new binary.
