I am sorry and aware this is the wrong community. However, I am unable to find Ask Programmer.

I wrote a small bash script, and I would like to share it on GitHub. However, to operate probably it requires dir with some files in user $HOME dir.

The only solutions came to my mind were, tar the directory BUT is this pragmatic solution?

sorry to bother but I was thinking, should I consider ./install.sh executed with root and non-root perm If so, essential files should placed in /usr/local/share?

Not sure I have enough context to really tell you what to do here. It's semi normal for folks to have scripts in /home//bin
