Hello, I am currently trying to assemble a starter project
for people who want to write command-line tools in Kotlin multiplatform.
I would appreciate if you can have a look and tell me what you think

Thanks! 🙏🏻

i really like bash and its totally possible to write readable code with it

[louiscad]

It's also totally possible to write readable code with Java

Christoph: I like Kotlin better 😛

Writing readable code is possible in any language, and the original git-standup is pretty well written
but like really, I started Bash programming 15 years ago and I still need to google how to do a for loop or a if elseif else.
And how do you do unit testing, continuous integration, ... ?
How do you add battle-tested open source dependencies?

Give Kotlin a try for CLI tools, it feels like we are now in the XXIth century!

That’s really no critique on your project, always great to find new usages for kotlin. But bash is also pretty good if you use it for what it was designed.and don’t just copy Paste from Bad examples.

and don't just copy Paste from Bad examples. <- you want me to be out of a job? 😄

[christophsturm]

just saying with bash its pretty terrible.

[christophsturm]

i was really just replying to the “bash-bashing” in the readme file. the project looks great and I’m really looking forward to trying it out, especially when it hast homebrew publishing support

[christophsturm]

and git standup is pretty cool, i have been wanting something like this forever

[jmfayard]

@christophsturm try git-standup now, it is pretty cool!
