shorter bin install commands

[dfang]

close #171

[marcosnils]

hey! thx for the contribution! Your PR gave me an idea. How about if we add a new command like bin alias to add or remove those aliases that can be stored in bin's config?

We could include the shorthands that you're proposing here as a default during config init or maybe through bin alias add --default to populate them.

Thoughts?

bin alias is good, but it should not be the top priority thing. as people can contribute to this file.

I think for the moment smart choose is more important. I mean for this case, 3 should be chosen. I noticed there are issues out on the list.

I agree... but I think moving that file shorthands to the bin config even without the bin alias command would be something very useful as users will be able to add / remove shorthands by manually editing the config file. WDYT?

yes, agree. I have some ideas on how to improve this, just need to find the time to try them out.

would you be interested in making this refactor? I can tackle whenever I find some bandwidth though.

I think from the perspective of keeping it simple it's not necessary, with this PR, the most widely used tools should be covered, and the else could be installed by bin i <USER>/<REPO>. this could make config file simple.

[marcosnils]

:+1:. I'll refactor when I find the time. In the meantime I'll hold this PR since I don't want to hardcode custom shorthands in the code that will require a new release every time someone wants to add a new one.

Can you enable the discussions feature for this repo?

[marcosnils]

Sure, done

closing since this didn't get too much traction and it has been stale for a while
