Great work, I did discover your project by accident with searching around Github, a good reason to have pharo projects on Github.
One thing I would like and I know this is easier said than done, is the ability to directly mix bash script with scale script on the same file. Of course I see that you have already included many bash commands and have the ability to execute a string as bash. Definitely will give it a try, thank you :) On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 9:37 PM Santiago Bragagnolo < santiagobragagn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi everybody. > > We are officially releasing a first version of scale. > > Scale is a command line handler that is there for making easier the life > of the people that uses scripting in linux.
