Detects downloading a binary file followed by making it executable
curl -L -o yt-api https://github.com/nerveband/youtube-api-cli/releases/latest/download + chmod +x Pin the download to a specific version tag or commit hash. Verify the downloaded file's checksum before using it. Avoid piping curl output directly to a shell.
Likely FP if downloading from an official, well-known domain (e.g., deno.land, rustup.rs) with HTTPS, though this pattern remains risky even with trusted sources.
Detects go install fetching and compiling arbitrary Go packages
go install github.com/nerveband/youtube-api-cli/cmd/yt-api@ Pin Go install targets to a specific version (e.g., go install example.com/tool@v1.2.3). Avoid @latest as it fetches whatever is currently published.
Likely FP if the go install target is a well-known tool (e.g., golang.org/x/ packages) pinned to a specific version in documentation.
