feat: jspod install <app> — one-command Solid app installs - #40
Merged
Conversation
Replaces the multi-step git-push recipe with a single subcommand. Hides the three sharp edges new users hit on the manual path: - Full clone (no --depth=1, which gets rejected by git-receive) - Dual-push (HEAD:main and HEAD:gh-pages) so updateInstead fires on any JSS version regardless of init.defaultBranch - Friendly skip for already-bundled paths like pilot (404 → "skipped") Defaults to solid-apps/<name> as the source (registry override is a follow-up, #25/#24). Authenticates via /idp/credentials with me/me unless overridden via --user / --password / JSS_SINGLE_USER_PASSWORD. jspod install chrome jspod install vellum win98 pdf jspod install # curated set jspod install --pod http://other.pod chrome Fixes #36

Fixes #36.
What
`jspod install ` replaces the multi-step git-push recipe new users had to copy-paste. Defaults to `github.com/solid-apps/` as the source; one command per app or batch by listing several.
```bash
jspod install chrome # one
jspod install vellum win98 pdf # several
jspod install # curated set: chrome vellum win98 pdf hub
jspod install --pod http://other.pod chrome
jspod install --help
```
How it hides the sharp edges
