I'll plug my tool ubi as an alternative/addition to this. It works with any GitHub project that does single-binary releases (so most Go and Rust projects).
[Release] cargo-quickinstall 0.2.0 - Prebuilt binary crates now served from GitHub Releases

I suppose this might be a reasonable feature to add to https://github.com/houseabsolute/ubi if there is a standard for signing releases on github. Is there such a standard?

Announcing cargo binstall 0.6

Cargo Binstall just got a brand new release, with QuickInstall support!
[Release] cargo-quickinstall 0.2.5 - prebuilt binary crates - now with –options
2 projects | /r/rust | 30 Jan 2022

I was talking to the binstall maintainer, and it should be possible to use the quickinstall package archives as a fallback for binstall. This would provide the best of both worlds. There are a few things that need sorting out first though. See https://github.com/alsuren/cargo-quickinstall/issues/27 for details. Once this is implemented, I would probably recommend binstall for desktop use cases, and `curl | tar` for CI use cases.

I have just released a new version of cargo-quickinstall, which now downloads prebuilt binary crates from GitHub Releases. (Cross-post from https://users.rust-lang.org/t/release-cargo-quickinstall-0-2-0-prebuilt-binary-crates-from-github-releases/56790)
