I honestly don’t see why people have such a problem with it. There are people who have spent 10s of hours working on something they’re gonna give to you for free, and chances are that you never thanked them any more than a star on GitHub, if at all, and you’re gonna complain the moment they throw a few extra lines in a log that you’re probably not gonna read for a command that you’re only gonna run very few times per project that uses it?

But you know what? If you don’t think they deserve to even ask if you wanna pay for a coffee in exchange for the hours of work they put in, you can go write your own version and see where that takes you. I’ll bet you that a few terminal lines is a better alternative.
