Support run command

[koppor]

gg.cmd fosters my lazyness.

Currently, for testing out nightly builds of my app "JabRef", I need to download a .zip file, unzip it and start the .bat.

Seeting the progress in the gh/cli/cli support, I think the next step is to enable following command

.\gg.cmd run https://builds.jabref.org/main/

In the first iteration, "only" a directory of builds is supported

but then

.\gg.cmd run https://github.com/cli/cli

works. Iinternally, this maps to gh/clic/cli maybe

And then

.\gg.cmd run https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/.jbang/JabSrvLauncher.java

works. Internally, this maps to jbang https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/.jbang/JabSrvLauncher.java

And then

.\gg.cmd run https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/13182

works. But this is hard. Maybe with gitoxide gh pr checkout xy can be reimplemented (I did it quickly in Java at JabRef/jabref#13184)

Maybe obsolte if we would switch to https://nightly.link/ 😅

This is related to #114 ? I think adding support for fetching binaries from gh action artifacts could be a good idea. In your case above binaries are elsewhere though, at least it looks like it?

Elsewhere would be nice. I learned from native Eclipse jgit pgm images that java also offers kind-of self-packaged shell scripts. And that it is possible to do java -jar ...sh (on Windows, but I think, this also works on Linux)

$ ./gg.cmd https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit.pgm/7.2.1.202505142326-r/org.eclipse.jgit.pgm-7.2.1.202505142326-r.sh
No executor found!

If a maven.org URL ending with sh is given, jbang should download it, enable java and do java -jar <path-to-downloaded-sh-file>.

Other (negative) examplle:

.\gg.cmd gh/containers/podman run quay.io/podman/hello

Portable executables are provided at https://podman-desktop.io/downloads

OK, even with the portable file, there are poups

Thus, it seems to be without chances to get podman running without user input.

Doing some housekeeping in old discussions.

The URL part of this never happened. gg.cmd run gh/cli/cli works, but that is just the same as gg.cmd gh/cli/cli, so nothing you asked for here really got implemented.

Is the gh/ form enough for you, or should I keep this one open?
I think since it's so old I will close it now, feel free to re-open though.
