I like this as a user but it always throws me off when I see it in a Git repo, where I'd prefer the .sh extension to hint at what's inside the file.

Indeed, this is why I retained the `.sh`.

If it were designed as a proper userspace tool (it is not, and may never be), I might have dropped the file extension. But I might also have chosen to keep the `.sh`, and create an alias instead, during install. That way I get to have both micro-conveniences.

For reference, I think npm does this too, and IIRC, they just symlink the utility name.
