So git-peek didn't work as expected with BBEdit. Config file ~/.git-peek has EDITOR=BBEdit --wait

It was working fine in iTerm, but as soon as I use the Firefox extension via the git-peek app, it failed. What I noticed was the following: the code signature of git-peek.app was broken, and it's not possible to apply a new signature, because git-peek-shim was in the wrong place within the bundle.

So I moved that file to ./Contents/MacOS/git-peek-shim, then changed its editor line to export EDITOR="BBEdit", then changed ./Contents/Resources/Scripts/main.scpt to

on open location this_URL
	try
		set innerCmd to "/Users/USER/Applications/git-peek.app/Contents/MacOS/git-peek-shim " & quoted form of this_URL & " &> /usr/local/var/log/git-peek &"
		do shell script innerCmd
	on error errMsg
		display dialog errMsg
	end try
end open location

i.e. changed the path of the variable innerCmd, whereas "USER" is substituted for my actual username, of course… then code-signed the app again, which finally worked, because git-peek-shim was now in a proper nested location. (Note: a broken signature might cause problems on Big Sur on arm64 macOS.)

Now, running git-peek via the Firefox extension opened BBEdit alright, but after the repo downloaded, it didn't show & was colored red, which in BBEdit means that a file has been deleted, in our case that the repo was deleted immediately after download.

How do I solve this problem?
