The install script installs the command line of the most recent release on macOS and Linux, not a pre-release and not the app. Install with the script gives the command.

Put the folder on your PATH

The script changes no shell profile. Where ~/.local/bin is not on your PATH, it prints the command that puts it there for your shell:

​
Install one release

Each release has its own copy of the script, which installs that release: https://github.com/datlechin/pitboard/releases/download/v<version>/install.sh.
