Description
I don't know where to put this, and I know it's not relevant to this repo. But found your site linked on krew.sh. Just wanted to say, thank you for creating it.
I spent 2 hours fighting with AI getting it to help me clean up the "litter" that is the "official" installation instructions for krew in my justfile recipe and automate adding its path to my profile so I can just install-krew in the future (because that time will come when I switch and re-roll my laptops). I just wanted to switch namespaces automatically. I am visually impaired and do programming basically night and day. Everything these days is 100x harder than it should be, and it takes me that much longer to find documentation and figure things out that someone could have just told me in one line in a README. Automating this stuff is becoming more and more necessary with all the complexity. And with AI to help maintainers improve their docs and roll automation scripts, there's really no excuse for any CLI installer to take more than one line.
Projects like Rust and Homebrew have been so easy to install with one line for years. So I asked the AI, why the heck is this so hard, why isn't there a one-liner, and it agreed with me and suggested there should be a curl krew.sh | bash, and I thought, nah, wouldn't that be nice? Gotta be a hallucination. So I looked, and voila. Unbelievable. Why isn't krew.sh listed in the official documentation? Seems like maybe a hard gatekeeper group to break into and get things like that, but maybe you can try to get them to help someone else at their wit's end and just link it. Thanks again!
