I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)

I didn't know they existed, actually! I discovered with your post. I might still finish my own as it will also install all the softwares I need and apply themes/plugins (For example, it would download VSCode and apply my themes and plugins). I might consider using the dot file managers for the dot files and keeping my "install script" just for the things it can't do.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Out of curiosity: why are you using a secret Gist? Are you storing secrets in there, that you wouldn’t want others to see?
Also, have you considered using a “dot file manager” such as YADM or Homeshick, as opposed to scripting your own solution?
