Has anyone made an installer/GNU type thing for the "common" ones like delta and rg? Could be a fun weekend project:

Select what tooling you want, it will be installed using your package manager

[ ] delta

[ ] bat

...

If you're on arch, most if not all these tools are in the official repos. Note that delta is named "git-delta".

  pacman -Syu git-delta bat ripgrep fd
Saved you a weekend ;)

You can use Nix (https://nixos.org/nix) to install these tools on any Mac/Linux machine (nix profile install nixpkgs#{bat, delta}). Disclaimer: I packaged some of these tools for Nix :)

Homebrew works great, even on linux. Every one of these nifty tools is available there.

asdf is another good option with most of them.

I use a makefile to set up a new computer.

This is brilliant and I'm totally stealing this. I dislike Ansible too much to encode a lot of my workflow in it, but a make file is a much better proposition.
