Is the Spicetify download command safe to use?

Be cautious with this method! The command itself looks fine, but think about the source. Can you trust this code? Generally, downloading scripts to run them right away isn't the safest approach. Always double-check the source before proceeding.

If you modify the URL to reflect the standard GitHub.com, you'll reach the repository that the command is trying to access. While using the 'main' branch is okay, it's a good practice to validate using the specified branch. Also, avoid using '-useBasicAuth' because it could expose your credentials if you're not careful. It’s safer to output the script to a file first and review it before execution.

You repeated the command in your post, but looking at the script, it appears safe. It performs basic checks, downloads the latest version, installs it, and adds it to your PATH for easy access.

Honestly, I’d suggest using the winget method instead, but this command seems safe for now. Just to note, having PowerShell pull something from the internet and then directly execute it is a bit risky. It could be vulnerable to attacks, so while it doesn’t look malicious at this moment, it's not something I would actively recommend you do without caution.
