I built Githrun to eliminate the need to clone entire repositories just to run a single utility script.
Key Features:
Instant Execution: Run any Python script via its GitHub URL or Gist ID using githrun run [URL].
VS Code Extension: I've added a VS Code extension so you can execute remote scripts directly from your editor.
Local Shims: It creates local shims in your PATH, allowing remote scripts to behave like native CLI tools.
Smart Caching: To avoid GitHub API rate limits, it caches metadata and responses locally.
It’s open-source (MIT) and available on PyPI. I'd love to hear what you think of the VS Code integration!
