Request: add an option to install a remote config

macOS: 26.3.1
openboot: v0.38.0

When using the one-line install you can't specify an existing remote config.

It would be nice to be able to use my config instead of picking from the defaults.

👋 Thanks for opening this issue!

Welcome to OpenBoot! We appreciate your contribution to the project.

To help us address this quickly:

If reporting a bug, please include your macOS version and OpenBoot version (openboot version)
If requesting a feature, describe your use case
If you have questions, check out our documentation

@fullstackjam will review this soon.

This already works — curl your config URL and the server returns a script instead of HTML:

curl -fsSL https://openboot.dev/<username>/<config-slug> | bash

If you set an alias on your config, the short form works too:

curl -fsSL https://openboot.dev/<alias> | bash

Oh nice, guess I missed that. Thanks.

Unrelated: do you get pings for things in the Discussions? I posted a couple over the weekend.
