feat(dist): add Homebrew + curl install paths#1250
Merged
Conversation
Add two zero-to-low-friction install methods beyond `npm install -g`: - `install.sh` (POSIX): checks for Node 22+, installs `git-coco` with the available package manager (npm/pnpm/yarn), prints next steps. Version pin via COCO_VERSION. Served at coco.griffen.codes/install.sh. - `packaging/homebrew/coco.rb`: canonical Homebrew formula (pulls Node as a dependency = no prerequisites), pinned to 0.71.0's sha256. - `bin/genHomebrewFormula.mjs`: regenerates the formula's url + sha256 from a published npm tarball. - `packaging/README.md`: tap setup + per-release distribution checklist.

Adds two lower-friction install methods beyond
npm install -g git-coco, part of the distribution push (seespecs/HANDOFF.md).What's here
install.sh(POSIXsh) — checks for Node 22+, installsgit-cocowith whatever package manager is present (npm/pnpm/yarn), prints next steps. Pin a version withCOCO_VERSION. Intended to be served atcoco.griffen.codes/install.sh.curl -fsSL https://coco.griffen.codes/install.sh | shpackaging/homebrew/coco.rb— canonical Homebrew formula. Homebrew brings Node along as a dependency, so this is the zero-prerequisite path. Pinned to 0.71.0's real sha256.bin/genHomebrewFormula.mjs— regenerates the formula'surl+sha256from a published npm tarball.packaging/README.md— one-time tap setup + per-release distribution checklist.Follow-ups (not in this PR)
