Why is the source code in privatebin?
and why is the hashbang to a termux bash?
I wasn't clear in the post I suppose but this was made to self host with no root on termux.
Its an early release. Not quite ready to put it on a code repo.
This sentence shows me I shouldn't trust what you upload yet. Usually software developers put everything on a repository which they can then clean up later if a history rewrite is needed.
It's just as reviewable on the paste as it is on a code repo.
Its more private for me to share as a paste. I don't really want to tie my lemmy account to my repo identity.
I didn't question the reviewability of your code, but best practices regarding software development. I don't mistrust the safety of your code, but the quality of its development process.
You can simply create another account with your Lemmy username to publish your code in a repository.
It's fine if you have a local or private git repository and publish via pastebin, but you didn't write that's the case.
