ZSH Scwrypts

Since they emulate direct user interaction, shell scripts are often the straightforward choice for task automation.

Basic Utilities

One of my biggest pet-peeves with scripting is when every line of a (insert-language-here) program is escaped to shell. This kind of program, which doesn't use language features, should be a shell script. While there are definitely unavoidable limitations to shell scripting, we can minimize a variety of problems with a modern shell and shared utilities library.

Loaded by common.zsh, the utils/ library provides:

• common function wrappers to unify flags and context
• lazy dependency and environment variable validation
• consistent (and pretty) user input / output
