single executable install

explored bun but it didn't end up working due to ./yoga.wasm dependency

rm bun
bun build ./src/index.tsx --outdir ./bun --target node
bun build ./bun/index.js --outfile ./bun/git-stack-cli --compile
cp ./node_modules/yoga-wasm-web/dist/yoga.wasm ./bun
./bun/git-stack-cli

setting up a rollup config to achieve a single file resulted in the same exact error

// npm i -D rollup @rollup/plugin-json @rollup/plugin-node-resolve @rollup/plugin-commonjs

import json from "@rollup/plugin-json";
import resolve from "@rollup/plugin-node-resolve";
import commonjs from "@rollup/plugin-commonjs";

// `npm run build` -> `production` is true
// `npm run dev` -> `production` is false
const production = !process.env.ROLLUP_WATCH;

export default {
  input: "dist/index.js",
  output: {
    file: "rollup/bundle.mjs",
    format: "es",
    sourcemap: true,
    inlineDynamicImports: true,
  },
  plugins: [
    resolve(), // tells Rollup how to find date-fns in node_modules
    commonjs(), // converts date-fns to ES modules
    json(),
  ],
};

it seems pkg works if we use commonjs format in a single file including all third party dependencies. so we use rollup to instead compile down to format: "cjs".

unfortunately ink dependency and it's yoga dependency both are using top-level await which is not supported in commonjs. so we fork and remove this to allow us to create the build.

after this we are finally able to then compile the commonjs output into the final executable using pkg.
