  • 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 :)

  • turbo

    Incremental bundler and build system optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript, written in Rust – including Turbopack and 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...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • 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
