Improve documentation about app binary download about chezmoi HOT 4 CLOSED

It's also worth mentioning that there are other tools that may be more appropriate for this particular task:

• https://github.com/marcosnils/bin
• https://github.com/marwanhawari/stew
• https://github.com/zyedidia/eget

I have not used any of these at this point, so I cannot recommend any one, but they are all focused on local installation of GitHub-release based binaries.

I use at least some of these, but I have shifted to installing them using MacPorts on macOS (I previously installed them with cargo binstall). I'm not sure that these are common enough — and more importantly portable enough (chezmoi is used on Windows) — to modify the documentation.

I do think that this list would make a nice Show & Tell post where people could pick and choose and add other variants as they wish.

What might be worth adding to the documentation is a section around the FAQ to "Interesting Ideas" that links to both the overall Show & Tell discussion, but perhaps adds links to a few interesting discussions, possibly including this one.

Thank you! I haven't heard of these and will make sure to check them out.

Hopefully this is now resolved. Please re-open if needed.
