How to use the file parameter? #8

Closed dufferzafar closed 3 years ago

dufferzafar commented 3 years ago

Some repositories upload a tarball that contains multiple executables.

In such cases, eget picks up the first one it finds.

Can I use the --file parameter to get around this?

This is what I've tried:

Thanks, this seems like a good use-case for the -f option, but was not supported before. I have just pushed a commit that should make these commands do what you expect.
