Actually, the install instructions are simple enough - just had to spend a minute or two refreshing my unix knowledge, so this is very low priority now.
I installed it to ~/bin
which is in my path so I didn't have to use sudo and modify /usr/local
- which were the questionable parts to me.
Thanks so much for this! Awesome work!
Thanks for the report!
Agree that using /usr/local
(which in turn requires sudo
for the download) isn't really necessary. Basically, you can put the file anywhere (preferably registered in the PATH). The main virtue of /usr/local
is it that it's simple and portable. (If you deal with people on different flavors of Unix, each will have slightly different conventions for directory-names, shell init scripts, etc.)
I updated README.md to softly hint that you can use other locations (but it doesn't go so far as to document/explain everything about how Unix PATH works).
It would be awesome to have a brew
install option, and I'd merge any PRs needed for that, although it's not a high priority for me (given that PHARs are simple and more portable).
Would be nice if there was a http://brew.sh install option
brew install git-scan
- for simplicity and trust (installer is verified and consistent with an entire communities practices, rather than a sole person's)
