The github-cli feature does not work with non-debian based images.

[aetos382]

Since bash or apt-get is used in install.sh, it will not work on distributions that do not have these commands.
I would like to have this clearly stated in the documentation.

features/src/github-cli/install.sh

Line 1 in b9bfe40

#!/usr/bin/env bash

features/src/github-cli/install.sh

Lines 63 to 69 in b9bfe40

	apt_get_update()
	{
	if [ "$(find /var/lib/apt/lists/* | wc -l)" = "0" ]; then
	echo "Running apt-get update..."
	apt-get update -y
	fi
	}

Thanks for pointing this out. A note about this used to be in the repo's README, but was removed recently. I'll add a comment to each individual Feature's README expressing its compatibility.

With the exception of the common-utils Feature, all Features in this repo target debian-based distros. That said, Features themselves can be written to target any linux distribution.

The reason this repo targets mostly debian distros it to keep maintainability simple for our team. We encourage others to write their own Features if they identify a gap in what's offered in this repo.
