Stack should install gotta-go-fast in a single command

[alexanderkjeldaas]

See https://github.com/hot-leaf-juice/gotta-go-fast

Bad:

$ git clone https://github.com/hot-leaf-juice/gotta-go-fast
$ cd gotta-go-fast
$ stack install

Good, cool and hip:

stack install https://github.com/hot-leaf-juice/gotta-go-fast

This would be great! Original discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/6qzdx6/a_typing_practice_app_written_with_brick/dl1wi20/

It's worth noting that gotta-go-fast is on Hackage, so you could just do stack install gotta-go-fast. But building/installing packages from Git/web sources would be awesome. You can already do it from stack.yaml or custom snapshots, so it would be nice to do it from the command line too.

You can already do it from stack.yaml

Should this new way of installing update your stack.yaml pointing to the Git source as per usual? Probably a good idea no? Would be easier to know after, which version was installed from source.

I don't know. When you stack install some-package-1.2.3, I don't think it modifies your stack.yaml.
