On Updating Kitty

[ad-chaos]

The way I update kitty is by simply running the curl -L https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin command whenever a new release shows up. Though the problem with this approach is that I have to give permissions to the newly installed kitty to my Documents, Downloads and other folders that mac restricts access to, which is slightly annoying.

People who use kitty on macos, how to do you get around this? I did a little bit of looking on the internet but couldn't find a nice solution other than completely disabling that feature :(

Hmm strangely enough I don't have this problem.

I installed kitty via homebrew - https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/kitty

I have a brew file with all the stuff I use

I then run brew bundle --file ~/dotfiles/config/homebrew/brewfile periodically to update all my stuff

If I just want to update any 1 particular tool, I can run brew upgrade kitty eg

But is the kitty cask maintained? I thought the only official binaries were the ones present in the releases page and subsequently the one that the curl command downloads?

Yes, it's maintained. Just got the latest release.

Alright thanks, will give that a try from the next release onwards :)
