@wu0407 you want me to replace install-binary.sh with what you shared above?
I copied helm-diff in my repo but it is still pointing to this repo, replaced databus23 with my repo

[wu0407]

you can edit this script to debug.

In my local it is always using https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff/ url not my git code, I can't edit it so.
any idea why ? anyone ?

I think it's that installing from the latest has been failing badly when you have some GitHub API issue. #285 fixed that so that there's more likely a valid URL passed to curl which should prevent a curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL or curl: (3) malformed error.

Closing as resolved. Please create another issue you still see this problem! Don't forget to include os/arch info when you're doing so. Thanks.

I'm also linking this to #265 (comment), which is very similar.
