Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is currently very hard to install arcCommander and all its (indirect) supporting binaries (and dependencies thereof, e.g. git-credentials-helper and friends), in a platform-portable manner.
Describe the solution you'd like
conda install [-c nfdi4plants] arc-commander
Additional context
Getting arcCommander installed together with support binaries and their dependencies is currently an unsolved problem and requires a lot of kludges. All of these kludges and workarounds are already addressed, e.g. by platform-portable package managers (e.g. miniconda), and we are not well advised IMHO in re-solving them. For example, portable conda environments e.g. appear as a promising solution for USB sticks etc., but we cannot use them for lack of an arcCommander conda package.
By not addressing this in a systematic manner, we are accumulating a lot of technical debt in binary distribution of our tools.
(Personally, I consider this as a very high priority.)
