As I was developing Shef, I kept asking myself if just knocking out a bash script was easier than making a recipe in yaml. In a lot of ways, absolutely. But I kept coming back to the embedded user prompts and a few of the other features that add some nice benefits on top of bash scripting. But all in all, you raise valid points.

Could you provide those nice features like colors and interactive prompts as a library of shell functions that do work in bash?
META: Why are this guy's posts insta-dead? Is this because he registered and started "spamming" immediately (responding in this discussion)?
Might be an algo thing, might be a trigger happy "enhanced" user that doesn't like green accounts.

FWiW the comments look fine to me and I've just [vouch]'d each and every one .. if some one else or two does the same they should come back.

I appreciate it! I saw that was happening so I stopped replying. Long time listener, first time caller
