Sh it!

Like a classical curl URL | sh, but safer and faster.

Installing

Easy (option 1)

Open the Withcraft/Terminal/Prompt and type + press [ENTER]:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Floflis/shit/main/install.sh | sh

Locally (option 2)

If you don't trust downloading+executing a script, you can do it locally.

Open terminal and type following by pressing [ENTER]:

Floflis, Floflis-based distros such as UniOS and any other that uses nu shell:

git clone https://github.com/Floflis/shit.git ; cd shit

After reviewing the code of install.sh:

chmod +x install.sh ; sh ./install.sh

Any other *nix distro (Ubuntu/Arch/MacOS/etc):

git clone https://github.com/Floflis/shit.git && cd shit

After reviewing the code of install.sh:

chmod +x install.sh && sh ./install.sh

How to use

Open the Witchcraft/Prompt/Terminal and type:

shit <IPFS-CID>

Example, to install Rust:

shit QmVoGaTVUVzgHEwyyiKsYcQG36AFZezb1kvGEFPwYsyN92

---

How does it works?

1. First, the CID is sent to the hardcoded IPFS gateway (ipfs.io - soon™ it will change, with gateway options including local go-ipfs)
2. Our program uses the local go-ipfs (you need it installed - automatic install using Plugz, soon™) to match the CID of the downloaded script with the requested one
3. You are prompted to (both in the Terminal and in the text editor/gedit app - generic text editor soon) to review the contents of the .sh you are about to install
4. After a "y" (yes), the script starts!

About

"shit" is a portmanteau between "sh" and "it" (let's sh it).

A portmanteau isn't a shit; but shit is a portmanteau.

Sorry for the name 💩

Nomenclature's purpose: tell how shitty it is to install a .sh script directly from a URL you found from a random potential troll somewhere

But at least its less shitty than curl URL.sh | sh; Sorry Rust lang.
