Poem

🐰 A Rabbit's Root Warning 🛡️

Sudo or root, a path so bright,
Pause and ponder, hold on tight!
Confirm your choice with wisdom's might,
Lest system chaos take its flight.
A cautious step, a safer way,
Where rabbit wisdom saves the day! 🚦

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

64-77: Consider enhancing the warning message.

While the confirmation loop is well-implemented, the warning message could be more specific about the risks.

Consider this enhanced version:

-            echo -e "Best pratices don't recommend running the installer as root user!"
+            echo -e "WARNING: Running as root is not recommended due to security risks!"
+            echo -e "Running as root can lead to accidental system-wide changes or security vulnerabilities."

Also, there's a typo in "pratices" that should be "practices".
