This can be a guide to standarize other projects.\r\n\r\nI think that offering a robust install config, can be a source of cool proposals (one that has been long on my mind is to optional deploy a selection of clink-completions during install) I guess @vladimir-kotikov would agree to that.\r\n\r\nclink is exponentially useful with that completions, and many ones do not know/care how to install it, and many third parties using clink would benefit from an updateable installer.\r\n\r\nI would start a PR/WIP about this. For it's size I guess it would be better to open a branch (develop/review) and squash/merge when work is done. Don't worry if it is finally not merged, but hope you find it useful and do it.\r\n"}}
