I see that *up has become an increasingly common name for toolchain installers: rustup, ghcup, even juliaup.
I think Rust was the first to use this terminology? I'm curious how similar the different *up tools are.

I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'.
What do others use?
I think you could build an interesting IDE with a tiny embedded LLM in addition to the usual tooling.
Features like 'extract method' would be much nicer if an LLM could provide a name. Choosing a good name is virtually impossible from just a typed AST.
I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html
The different distros have taken different approaches, so I'm trying to help with common gotchas — don't forget the man page!
Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂
