feat(install): add SENTRY_INIT env var to run wizard after install

betegon · claude · betegon · commit bcdb0837501e · 2026-04-08T21:01:38.000+02:00
curl -fsSL https://cli.sentry.dev/install | SENTRY_INIT=1 bash The binary now reopens /dev/tty itself when stdin is not a TTY, so clack prompts receive keypress events even when launched from a pipe. Falls back gracefully in CI/containers where /dev/tty is unavailable. Closes #682 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
