How can I use boxxy to install boxxy?

install.sh is misbehaving and wants to put it's binary to ~/bin AND NOT ~/.local/bin which is XDG standard?

I want to use boxxy to install.sh to ~/.local/bin ?

Or might it be possible to customize the path in install.sh?

Anyway, cool idea. But too much work to write a config for every "misbehaving" application. A generic wrapper (scanning what bins are in your PATH) and a repository with predefined configs would be cool.

install.sh is a tool for me; I didn't expect people to actually use it 😅

I would love to do this someday; I just don't have enough data yet.

...until a developer setup comes along with hardcoded ~/.aws/credentials etc.

Maybe putting it to a LD_PRELOAD lib may be a better effort? Or even a kernel module? Basically it could redirect everything dot-something I the home directory to ./config except it is .cache or .local ...

Well, just an experimental idea. I guess people don't care much about cluttering their homedir with dot files and we'll have to surrender 😑
