instll.sh - GitHub Script Redirector

A simple service that provides short URLs for GitHub-hosted installers.

Try it out

curl -fsSL instll.sh/rbbr-io/instll.sh | sh

When to use it

When you want to provide a simple way to install your project.

How to use it

1. Add install.sh to your repository
2. Add installation instructions to your README.md:

curl -fsSL instll.sh/<user>/<repo> | sh

Done!

Why use it?

I could just use raw.githubusercontent.com to host my scripts:

curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/user/myproject/refs/heads/main/install.sh | sh

However, it doesn't look as elegant.

Alternatively, I could host it on a separate domain, like I did for Sitedog: get.sitedog.io. But that would require managing a whole new infrastructure. Instead, I decided to create convention-based serverless installers, so anyone could do it on scale in no clicks!

How it works

This service redirects incoming requests to raw GitHub files:

• instll.sh/user/repo → redirects to install.sh from the main branch
• instll.sh/user/repo/uninstall.sh → redirects to uninstall.sh from the main branch

Use Cases

• Simplified installation commands for open source projects
• Quick access to setup scripts
• Shortened URLs for documentation and tutorials
