docs(readme): document gjsify dlx + gjsify install -g install paths#411
Merged
Conversation
Adds two new install methods to the GJS-runtime section of README: - `gjsify dlx @ts-for-gir/cli [args…]` — npx-style one-shot run. Content-addressed cache at `~/.cache/gjsify/dlx`; reuses across invocations of the same spec, `--reinstall` forces refresh. - `gjsify install -g @ts-for-gir/cli` — global install with symlinked launcher at `~/.local/bin/ts-for-gir`. Both paths require only GJS — no Node.js, no npm CLI. They depend on gjsify v0.4.21+ (the bare-spec → `latest` dist-tag fix in gjsify/gjsify#249; without that fix, dlx/install -g silently picked the abandoned v3.3.0 release instead of 4.0.0-rc.17). The existing `curl | gjs install.js` one-liner is kept as a self-bootstrap path for users who don't yet have the gjsify CLI installed.

Adds two new install paths
Both Node-free, GJS-runtime only:
One-shot via `gjsify dlx` (npx-style)
```bash
gjsify dlx @ts-for-gir/cli list
gjsify dlx @ts-for-gir/cli generate Gtk-4.0
```
Content-addressed cache at `~/.cache/gjsify/dlx`; subsequent invocations of the same spec reuse it. `--reinstall` forces a refresh.
Global install via `gjsify install -g`
```bash
gjsify install -g @ts-for-gir/cli
ts-for-gir --help
```
Installs into `
/.local/share/gjsify/global` and symlinks the binary to `/.local/bin/ts-for-gir`. Re-run to update.Dependency
Both paths require gjsify v0.4.21+ (the bare-spec →
latestdist-tag fix in gjsify/gjsify#249). Without that fix, bare-name resolution picks the abandoned v3.3.0 release instead of 4.0.0-rc.17 because semver `*` skips prereleases.What's preserved
