vet

vet is a command-line tool that acts as a safety net for the risky curl | bash pattern. It lets you inspect, diff against previous versions, and lint remote scripts before asking for your explicit approval to execute. Promoting a safer, more transparent way to handle remote code execution. (by vet-run)

  • Show HN: Vet – A tool for safely running remote shell scripts

    By the way, the excellent discussion here got me thinking about the next logical step for vet: supporting private environments.

    Running public scripts is great, but what about running deployment scripts from a private GitHub repo or setup scripts from an internal server?

    Based on this, I've opened a new feature request to add authentication support to vet, with a roadmap that includes .netrc support, a VET_TOKEN environment variable, and a future goal of integrating with secret managers like HashiCorp Vault by reading tokens from stdin.

    If you're interested in that direction, I'd love to get your thoughts on the feature request over on GitHub:

    Thanks again for all the great feedback!
