>Because the configuration may be different from machine to machine

This is the crux of the issue. I want something to ensure turn-key configuration in a secure and cross platform way.

Maybe github/gitlab could generate something like an installer script instead of just a clone url.

Do you have a cross-platform package manager?

One such package manager can be npm (if you use Node anyway), it can install and run scripts.

But having to run a setup script once could be massively simpler, though less flexible.
