  1. slightish

    Literate testing for command-line tools written in any language

    Oh hey, I took a stab at rewriting tush a few years ago: https://github.com/misterfifths/slightish

    Ruby though, not awk :)

  3. turbo

    Discontinued Build system optimized for JavaScriptย and TypeScript, written in Rust [Moved to: https://github.com/vercel/turborepo]

    I've been using https://www.prysk.net/ for the past few months, and I really like the simplicity of running a programming and using standard tools to validate the output and any system changes. Here's a bunch of tests in the turborepo codebase if anyone is interested https://github.com/vercel/turbo/tree/main/turborepo-tests/in...

  4. tinytestlib

    An MVP shell script testing library (currently bash but may include more shells in future) allowing you to assert on stdout, stderr and return codes in your shell script test suites.

    I wrote something like this but in Bash https://github.com/pmarreck/tinytestlib but since this accomplishes my own design goals of being able to assert on all 3 things at once (stdout, stderr, return/exit code), and since I have a thing for Awk, and since you can also embed this in a Markdown, I kind of like this better
