A simple service that provides short URLs for GitHub-hosted installers.

curl -fsSL instll.sh/rbbr-io/instll.sh | sh

When you want to provide a simple way to install your project.

1. Create instll/ folder in your repository
2. Add instll/install.sh to your repository
3. Optionally add instll/uninstall.sh, instll/ci-install.sh, etc.
4. Add installation instructions to your README.md:

curl -fsSL instll.sh/<user>/<repo> | sh
curl -fsSL instll.sh/<user>/<repo>/uninstall | sh

Done!

I could just use raw.githubusercontent.com to host my scripts:

curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/user/myproject/refs/heads/main/install | sh

However, it doesn't look as elegant.

Alternatively, I could host it on a separate domain, like I first did for Parascope: get.parascope.dev. But that would require managing a whole new infrastructure. Instead, I decided to create convention-based serverless installers, so anyone could do it on scale in no clicks!

This service redirects incoming requests to raw GitHub files:

• URL: instll.sh/inem/rocks
• Result: raw.githubusercontent.com/inem/rocks/main/instll/install.sh
• Purpose: Downloads the main installation script

• URL: instll.sh/inem/rocks/add
• Result: raw.githubusercontent.com/inem/rocks/main/instll/add.sh
• Purpose: Downloads any script from the instll/ folder

# Main installation script
curl -fsSL instll.sh/inem/rocks | bash

# Custom scripts
curl -fsSL instll.sh/inem/rocks/init | bash
curl -fsSL instll.sh/inem/rocks/uninstall | bash

# Files from subfolders
curl -fsSL instll.sh/inem/rocks/rocks/make-engine > make-engine.mk

Convention: All install scripts should be placed in the instll/ folder (without 'a').

• Simplified installation commands for open source projects
• Quick access to setup scripts
• Shortened URLs for documentation and tutorials
