But why? Mise does this and more. It can install binaries from github, gitlab, uv, npm, and many more.

If you're going to let an LLM write docs, at least let them write to the target of the dev. this README seems more internal, or more like a pitch, i suppose. It's weird.

But isn't this built into uv already? Just point the sources table to GitHub.

This is pretty cool, I'm doing something similar for binaries I use on my computer - https://github.com/chasen-bettinger/conf/blob/main/binaries....

For pixi we also created a octoconda & a "github-releases" channel: https://prefix.dev/blog/octoconda-repackage-github-binary-re...

This is pretty neat.

I am more used to uv than pixi or mise so it would be an easier addition to my workflow.

However I do think it would probably be nicer if this kind of approach used conda packages as a source of truth. So kind of like pixi but without pixi!

Isn't this the problem bazel's supposed to solve?
