Implement 'github' repo support #8
Description
Implement support for installing the direct source from a repo in src/util/github.js.
There are comments in that file that pinpoint some API endpoints that need to be hit for the relevant issue.
Like NPM, GitHub repo releases will also have a link to a .tgz files and their corresponding shasums.
To install this:
- figure out which damn version the user wants to install (ie latest or provided version)
- fetch the latest version or look up the versions and ensure the provided version is valid
- pull the tag details (ie
.tgzuri + shasum) - download, verify and unpack the package1
- update the config
1 The untar includes an override that strips the parent directory from every directory specifier. This may need a flag to enable/disable if GitHub sources aren't wrapped with an outer directory before being tar'd.
