nice! looks good, didn't know about it. I'll try it by installing it with my tool ;)
binenv supports versioning which is nice, and reads from a maintained list (https://github.com/devops-works/binenv/blob/develop/distribu...). mine is just simpler, a single script, and accepts any user/repo

Show HN: Install GitHub release binaries from the CLI
5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Oct 2021

I also wrote one of those scripts, bin/tarinstall (https://github.com/efrecon/bininstall). It even doubles as a GitHub Action to install stuff you need for your pipeline. binenv usually performs better and handles versions more easily, so ... I install binenv using bininstall and use binenv to install the rest... hmmm...

What are some alternatives?

When comparing binenv and bininstall you can also consider the following projects:

gh-install - install GitHub release binaries from the CLI interactively

markdownlint - Repository for the markdownlint-mdl-action Github Action

linux-installer - Graphical Linux application installer for audiences that are used to Windows installers. Imitates the look-and-feel of NSIS/Wizard97.

lazykubectl - A Terminal UI client for kubernetes

git-auto-commit-action - Automatically commit and push changed files back to GitHub with this GitHub Action for the 80% use case.

vcluster - vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.

pluto - A cli tool to help discover deprecated apiVersions in Kubernetes

helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager

kubectx - Faster way to switch between clusters and namespaces in kubectl
