Pulling the latest master branch from GitHub is a nice default, but PLEASE make it possible to specify a particular version. A simple solution is something like:
install 'github:username/reponame' NB. latest version from the default branch install 'github:username/reponame@076d0d3d7b9e79cedf241be5b668e0df11c8eec3' NB. a specific commit install 'github:username/reponame@releasename' NB. tagged commit or "release" This makes it easy to install the latest from the master branch (probably what people want for development) but also makes it possible to install specific snapshots for reproducible builds (important for keeping dependencies sane). Just my $0.02.
