Found myself wishing I could manage certain non-JS tools I depend on in my javascript projects via @yarnpkg.dev so I wrote a (very experimental) plugin to install binaries from GitHub release assets. github.com/bgotink/yarn...

Terminal showing github repositories rust-lang/mdBook, koalaman/shellcheck, and rhysd/actionlint installed by a yarn command:

yarn add --dev @rust-lang/mdbook@github-release:0.5.4 @koalaman/shellcheck@github-release:0.11.0::strip_components=1 @rhysd/actionlint@github-release:^1.7

Got badly sunburnt while hiking despite clouds and mist all day. Make it make sense! *touches earpiece* Ah, I have just been told I'm a programmer and quote that's what you get for going outside unquote.

In case anyone's wondering: no, the cat wasn't interested at all.
