development

• the tools are developed inside a docker container
• all scripts are tested by bashunit

setup

• clone the repository

  git clone https://gitub.com/devloberto/shell-dev-tools.git
  cd shell-dev-tools

• build the docker image

  docker compose up -d --build

• interactively enter the container's shell for testing

  docker compose exec shell-dev-tools bash

  or directly run the unit tests

  docker compose exec shell-dev-tools bashunit

TODO

Test automation for zsh.
Currently only bash support is automatically tested by bashunit. zsh support is tested manually only at the moment.
Maybe something like shellspec should be used which supports both bash and zsh.
