<@U3ZLHBTLG> running commands as a extension function

i am sure there is things that can be improved.. tis worked well for my usecase of long running jobs

I think you can remove the try catch block as we're not in java

So… it doesn't work wonder for all commands, which is confusing…
If I edit a file, then run this, and check git log, nothing changed, no new commit:
```
val newVersion = "3.0.0-alpha02"
println("git commit -am \"Prepare for release $newVersion\"".execute())
```

you have to pass a working directory.. or what is the default one ?

It is `File(".")`
Note that it works when I run `git tag`, so the quotes are likely confusing the split call

<@UBBFK40RZ> I solved my problem thanks to your help and other stuff on the internet, here's what I did: <https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/blob/2ec8f895e7fe4046c528d8659a9848ce020eee45/Releasing.kts#L24-L70>
Thanks <@U78L28DMX> for your help too, and maybe this link above may be helpful to you in the future if you run shell/cmd commands from Kotlin

I didn't do anything, <@UBBFK40RZ> deserves all tne credit, I've also been learning from her and I was just excited to be part of the convo!

<@U3ZLHBTLG> will definitely peep at your project though!

it would probably be easier to just do `arrayOf("git",  "commit", "-am", message).execute(workingDir = File("."))`

unless you have to emulate the same splitting behaviour as bash

It'd have been easier, but I wanted it to work just like bash, and be able to support new commands in the future if needed, and I could do it
