  1. x-cmd

    x-cmd: Bootstrap 1000+ command line tools in seconds.

    It's a package manager[1]. This wasn't obvious on first glance.

    This has a lot of red flags: it looks like it's mostly machine translated, the packages come from unclear sources, and the GitHub repository itself appears to mostly contain scaffolding, none of the actual code of the manager itself[2]

  3. nix-installer

    Install Nix and flakes with the fast and reliable Determinate Nix Installer, with over 7 million installs.

    Instead of using a dodgy package manager, install `nix` and use `nix run`. Get access to the largest collection of packages, and lean on a highly principled and secure baseline rather than… whatever this is. Easy to install on Mac, Linux, or WSL: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer?tab=read...
