Deployment tip

For enterprise deployment of Clink, download the setup EXE from the official releases page and run it silently with the /S flag to suppress the UI, optionally combined with selecting “Autorun when cmd.exe starts” during interactive testing or via post-install automation using clink autorun install to enable automatic injection into all new cmd.exe sessions. This ensures consistent, hands-off rollout without requiring PATH modifications or manual injection.
