Suggestion for downloading and installing the binary

[miquelis]

Hello yq team, how are you?

I would like to make a suggestion to download and install the binary always in the latest version.

wget -qO- https://api.github.com/repos/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep linux_amd64.tar.gz | cut -d '"' -f 4 | xargs wget -O - | tar -xz && mv sudo $(echo "yq_linux_amd64.tar.gz" cut -d"/" -f 9 | cut -d"." -f4,5 --complement | cut -d"." -f1) /usr/bin/yq

Nice! Also ended up with something similar:

sudo bash -c "curl -fsSL https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest/download/yq_$(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')_$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/yq && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/yq"

There are better ways like wiring a helper script and installing with that, here is my personal one. it is short and have options

bash <(curl -sL shakiba.net) --help

Which could be

# install Linux 64
bash <(curl -sL website.TLD) --install L64

# install Linux 32
bash <(curl -sL website.TLD) --install L32

# install MAC 64
bash <(curl -sL website.TLD) --install M64

# etc
