load.sh

load.sh: Fetch a script from https://shellscript.download, cache it locally,
         and optionally execute it.

Cache location used by this script:
  $HOME/.shellscript/downloads/<script>.sh

Usage:
  load.sh [--update] [--dont-run] <script> [optional args...]

Options:
  --update           Force re-download/update of the script even if it exists locally
  --dont-run         Do not execute the script after ensuring it is downloaded
  --developer <path> Use a local directory instead of downloading (for development)
  -h, --help         Show this help message

Arguments:
  <script>      The script name (without .sh) to fetch from shellscript.download
  [args...]     Optional arguments to pass through to the downloaded script

To update the loader to a new version, reinstall it via the installer:
  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://shellscript.download/install/loader)"

Notes about environment setup:
  The installer (install/loader) may create and manage additional directories such as
  $HOME/.shellscript/shellrc (for auto-loading during shell init) and
  $HOME/.shellscript/bin (added to PATH). This load.sh script itself only ensures
  the cache directory $HOME/.shellscript/downloads and uses it to store scripts.

Behavior:
  - If the cached file is missing at "$HOME/.shellscript/downloads/<script>.sh" OR
    if --update is passed, the script is downloaded from the remote URL.
  - After ensuring the cached script exists, it is executed with remaining arguments
    unless --dont-run is provided.
  - Exits with the same code as the executed script when run.
