nails

Summary

nails are bits of Bash code similar to Ruby gems and Python eggs. The goal is to make it simple and efficient to use the code made by others and to publish your own code for others to use.

As assotiative arrays are in use, Bash 4 is required.

Nail structure

Nail is a directory inside ${__NAILS_PATH} with a layout like this:

~/.nails/
	example/
		bin/
			example
		lib/
			example.bash
			example/
				subexample_a.bash
				subexample_b.bash
		spec/
			version
		test/
			example.bash
		LICENSE
		README

Usage

• drop bash-hammer to your ~/bin/
• change the shebang of your script to #!/usr/bin/env bash-hammer
• inside the script call require <nail_name>

Examples

To be honest all this is really trivial at the moment, so just poke around the code. Real docs will come later, after there is something to document in the first place.
