    parallel --embed > parallel.sh
Then store that in your source repo and use it wherever shells are used!

On Debian 11.7:

   $ parallel --embed > parallel.sh
   Unknown option: embed
[edit] Ran it in Ubuntu 22.04, it does output a bash script ... which still depends on Perl.

It is not, at least on FreeBSD and NetBSD.

Would this taint the other code in your repo with the GPL? I'd guess it would depend on how it is distributed.

If you're running on your private build infra, it's fine. If you're pushing that repo to somewhere public, it's now GPL.

To install parallel, first run parallel --embed?
