curl-bash-template.sh

So you've got a neat project and you want to be able to have others get it up and running quickly, eh?

You'd like them to be able to do something like this and have your service installed, eh?

curl -L install.example.io | bash

Well, this is a collection of scripts that you can include in your repo to do just that.

Just modify get.sh to point to your repo (you could host this on install.my-project.io, for example) and modify local.sh for your specific project.

Currently supports:

• macOS's launchd
• Linux's systemd
