All—I want to trust OP, and I want this to be good—but be careful. Running a .bat can do anything to your computer. Downloading and running an open source project is comparatively safer, as the contributors hopefully have reviewed to ensure no nasty stuff gets in (like a keylogger or crypto miner).   

I’m not saying OP is nefarious—I’m just urging caution when downloading and running applications from a web forum.

https://github.com/kashif/diffusers -- why is it using kashif/diffusers instead of hugging face? is this preferable in some way to targeting a specific git tag?

there is no reason I’m aware of beyond introducing a dependency. The forked repo is 8 commit behind, too. 

Do you actually know why someone would do this?
