The bootstrap script is intended to be copied to the install system, and run 
from there. Generally, I just use curl, wget, or even just a browser to grab 
the script.  I do this in manual steps for new physical systems (e.g. new 
laptop), and have automated it for VMs, etc.

Yes, that’s right.

Great.  My repo is effectively a version of RichiH’s template tweaked and 
customized over time to my needs.  So you get to see a baseline with his 
version and an adapted one with mine.

Cheers!
