[Proposal] Let stew browse accept url to gh repo #13

Closed edshamis closed 2 years ago

This way, one can just copy and use the url, no need to select the ending part

Thanks for the feedback! I understand why someone would want this, but I'm going to stick to the 2 ways that users can currently use stew:

  1. Provide the GitHub owner/repo
  2. Provide a URL directly to a binary/script (doesn't have to be on GitHub)

I don't want to introduce a 3rd way where if you provide a GitHub repo URL specifically, then it acts like case 1. I also don't want this proposal to replace case 1 because I don't think stew should only accept URLs. I want stew to have a simple, consistent, and predictable command line usage.
