.SH NAME
tilde \- submit, review and run approved community scripts
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tilde
[\fIOPTION\fR] [\fICOMMAND\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The tilde launcher provides a submission and administrator approval process

.SH NOTES
An administrator approves an immutable snapshot of a submitted script. The
script is captured under the submitter's user ID; it is not executed as root.
Legacy links are not changed until an administrator explicitly migrates them.
Single-file scripts are supported; executables requiring files beside them may
need packaging changes before migration.
.PP
To run approved scripts directly, append /tilde/bin to your PATH.
