Bashly – Create beautiful bash scripts from simple YAML configuration

• bashly

  13 1,918 9.4 Ruby

  Bash command line framework and CLI generator

No need to repeat step 3. Code for each command (in case you want a bash script with subcommands), is placed in `src/_command.sh`. That's it.

I think this is a good minimal example:

  a delicious way to organize programs

  

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• hof

  33 475 8.9 Go

  Framework that joins data models, schemas, code generation, and a task engine. Language and technology agnostic.

  

Shameless plug, I wrote https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof as a generalized tool for what this does, i.e. generate boilerplate from a DSL.

https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hofmod-cli is the same idea for generating Go CLI boilerplate.

hof uses CUE instead of Yaml, can output to any and multiple languages, and uses diff3 so you can work in both the output and the design at the same time.

  Hofstadter generator for Golang CLIs

  Next Generation Shell (NGS)

  

Before there are 10 people with "there is a library for that in Python" (because they are not and can not be ergonomic enough):

Next Generation Shell is a "real" programming language. It also has syntax for calling external programs. It handles exit codes properly. It has facility for constructing command line arguments.

  Bash Alias Generator and Manager (by DannyBen)

IMHO, I don't think most people commenting here are getting it.

As an example, here's a bash alias generator, alf [0], which itself is a bash script, created using this. The bash script for alf is note really small [1]. Additionally, the output is extremely readable unlike most other bash scripts I myself have written!

Really amazing piece of software! Kudos.

  Task runner that helps you easily manage and invoke small scripts and wrappers (by TekWizely)

Although bash-specific, Bashly falls into the "Task Runner" category. As such, I would like to chime in with my entry:

Run : https://github.com/TekWizely/run

It has its own DSL for describing tasks, along with help strings and argument descriptors, and can manages generating help screens, parsing args and invoking tasks (sub-commands).

Each task can be written in its own language, one task could be Bash, one could be zsh, one could be python, etc.

If you're in the market for a flexible task runner, I hope you'll give it a chance.
