Tangential, but why is there a docker image for a simple command line tool like this? Surely a git clone is enough, especially for a Go app, no?

Some people prefer to manage (or simply test) CLI tools, as simple or complicated they are, with Docker. You can setup an alias like 'alias qrkey=docker run --rm ghcr.io/techwolf12/qrkey:0.0.1' and run it as it was normally installed. In this example, as the image is created from scratch, the size would only be marginally bigger than the executable.
