eget: install GitHub releases without waiting for a central index
The pace of command-line tooling has changed. New tools show up on GitHub every day, and active projects may publish several releases in a week, sometimes in a day.
The slow part is often not the project itself. It is the central package index in the middle: a formula, bucket, manifest, or package definition that has not caught up yet. eget is for that gap. If the release asset already exists, or the download URL can be described by a simple rule, eget can fetch and install it directly.
