Thanks for testing. I'm guessing you trimmed the output a bit there, it would normally say you can override using --no-score-check.

I've fixed this and cut a new release, dist 1.0.5.

--no-score-check didn't help, so i didn't include it.

Works with your fix.

I sent you an email to schedule a chat. Hope you don't mind. I'm very thankful for your work in this space. Will keep testing this in place of my eget workflows.

Some thoughts so far:

1. ability to pick my own dir or to default to .local/bin . Eg I love using eget from ansible to drop various useful binaries

2. Ability to override github url, so I could do my own token management/cache in a centralized way. This would fix the biggest downside of such tools in CI.

3. It would be nice if there was an option to build go apps. Eg terraform(which you have a workaround for), and obscure stuff like https://github.com/Mic92/ssh-to-age/tree/main . I love that go makes this easy https://bsky.app/profile/taras.glek.net/post/3lcau3yaftc2n

4. lazy mode. I have an ad-hoc script to lazily download various nice-to-have-but-heavy binaries into devcontainer on my team. Eg it's a bash script that checks if usql is in path, if it's not, it downloads a pinned version and runs it and passes args through. Given how fast most binaries are this is the only way to have all the binaries we need without wasting gigs of space of stuff that only 1 person on team may use.

Interesting, I'll look into the no-score-check.

Technically there's a config file and you can set the path, it's not been tested a lot on custom paths and I haven't documented it yet, but if you look at the source it'll show you how.

I'm working on a Distfile so be able to install multiple pinned versions at the same time, I'm also working on installing multiple binaries at the same time.

I think compiling go is something I'll stay away from. I think it would be better to encourage folks like mic92 to use goreleaser and publish static binaries.
