+# Curl-able Omarchy bootstrap. Configures the omarchy pacman repo on a fresh
+# Arch system, installs the omarchy-installer package (which pulls omarchy,
+# omarchy-settings, and omarchy-limine via depends), then hands off to
+# `omarchy install`.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   curl -sSL https://omarchy.org/boot.sh | bash
+#   curl -sSL https://omarchy.org/boot.sh | OMARCHY_REF=dev bash
 
-# Set install mode to online since boot.sh is used for curl installations
