Sounds like something I could use, but installing a binary via `curl` doesn't sit right with me. Next problem you have is "explain how this thing was installed on my system" followed "is it up to date (including security patches).

I hope they have deb package or snap some day.



I understand that installing via `curl` isn’t for everyone, but since this is the first release, I intentionally kept it simple. Now that the tool is gaining some traction, I can definitely plan proper packages for future releases. Thanks for your inputs.


Have a look at https://goreleaser.com/ , I've used it a bunch to automate releases of Go-based projects, locally and with GitHub Actions.


Thanks a lot for the input, I ended up using it.


new utility command coming soon! wdtci - "what does this curl install?"


Depends on dtps - "does this program stop".


Depends on environment variable P=NP


Just to update, witr is currently available on brew and AUR. deb, rpm and apk packages are also available in the release, and can be run directly via nix without installation.


`systemctl status $pid` will get you a lot
