alt Hacker NewsThis thing does a global uv install when run? That's obnoxious! Never running stuff from whoever wrote this.
Oh, and later the author suggests the script modify itself after running. What the fuck. Absolutely unacceptable way to deploy software.

Does it really matter if its a global install of uv or not especially on Github Actions
Also if this still bothers you, nothing stops you from removing the first x lines of code and having it in another .py file if this feels obnoxious to you

Regarding author suggest its removes itself its because it does still feel clutterish but there is virtually 0 overhead in using/having it still be if you are already using uv or want to use uv
Oh also, (I am not the Author) but I have played extensively with UV and I feel like the script can definitely be changed to install it locally rather than globally.
They themselves mention it as #overkill on their website but even then it is better than whatever github action is
