• I have read the Contributing Guide.

Hi! Thanks for your PR, please could you follow the contribution guide and give some details about the popularity of this program? Next time it would be great if you could create an issue for discussion first :) At a glance it seems a popular program but I will take a closer look tomorrow. Could you also please fix the manifest so that it passes the checks?

Hello, @tech189 and @rashil2000 thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions.
It's command-line software so I thought it will be allowed.
Few points: It's not on 500 starts yet, but it was trending 3 on ProductHunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/sttr
It's not downloading anything or opening up any ports or runs in the background, security is not an issue here.

I tried to fix the manifest as per review comments but somehow it keeps on failing.

Please let me know your thoughts.

There's good reason why we insist on contributors opening issues first for any PR, so that such discussions can be had.

It's command-line software so I thought it will be allowed.

It's not the only criterion.

It's not downloading anything or opening up any ports or runs in the background, security is not an issue here.

We know, we can all see the source code there :)

The popularity/age criterion is present to establish a base level of trust. The release artifacts an author puts on their GitHub repo can be modified, even if they're released through an automated process (like GitHub Actions).

I tried to fix the manifest as per review comments but somehow it keeps on failing.

Our CI is broken as of now, you can ignore it.

Please let me know your thoughts.

If you insist, you can shift this PR to Extras bucket.

[abhimanyu003]

Sure I will look forward to adding it there. Currently closing this PR.

[tech189]

If it doesn’t make it into the Extras bucket, it’s very easy to set up a bucket for your own apps. It would only be one extra cmd for your users to run to install.

[rashil2000]

Sure I will look forward to adding it there.

Hey @abhimanyu003 :)
Any updates?

[tech189]

I added it to my bucket in the meantime, just run the following:

scoop bucket add tech189 https://github.com/tech189/tech189-bucket

Then install with:

scoop install sttr

[rashil2000]

Interesting!

I'd like to add that we have made a template repository for making personal buckets very easily - https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/BucketTemplate - which has several advantages.

[tech189]

Oh, I didn't know about that template! I'm going to try migrating my bucket to it by copying what my bucket doesn't have.

[tech189]

@rashil2000 just to let you know, I've successfully migrated and set up CI tests in my bucket!

[rashil2000]

Nice! 😃
