Greetings! Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at Bingo. 1: re: copy-paste install script: I'll definitely grind on this and see what we can do. Bingo requires my Run[1] package, which itself is written in go and can be installed via `go install github.com/TekWizely/run` -- Additionally, once you have Bingo installed, you can use IT to re-install Run and then manage your Run installation via Bingo itself ! A self-running install script for Bingo that installs a temporary version of Run, then installs Bingo, then uses Bingo to install a permanent version of Run would actually be quite clever ! 2: re: metapackages: Bingo's goal is to be a useful wrapper on top of Go's built-in, and highly useful, install feature. Go's auto compile+install features are already getting pretty complex (ie code generation, specifying tags, etc)... The
Read the rest
fact that you can download and install hugo with `--tags extended` from the command line is pretty sweet. That said, I would say any additional support (ie metapackages) might first start as a request against go install proper -- That said, it might be a nice addition to maybe fetch some kind of `go.install` file that contains basic steps for installing a complex package. If it was going to be a non-sanctioned idea, I would still want the format of the file/spec to stand on its own and be useful outside of Bingo. 3: re: shell/path setup script: PRs always appreciated ;) 4: Graci ! I am quite pleased with myself for the name - BTW: The idea for the tool came first. I then brainstormed the name ... Thanks again and please lemme know if you have any further comments/questions! If nothing else please consider opening Issues for these ideas to help me keep track of them :) -TW [1]https://github.com/TekWizely/run

Although bash-specific, Bashly falls into the "Task Runner" category. As such, I would like to chime in with my entry: Run : https://github.com/TekWizely/run It has its own DSL for describing tasks, along with help strings and argument descriptors, and can manages generating help screens, parsing args and invoking tasks (sub-commands). Each task can be written in its own language, one task could be Bash, one could be zsh, one could be python, etc. If you're in the market for a flexible task runner, I hope you'll give it a chance.
