ShellScriptBuilder

Ezra Zygmuntowicz announced today a first revision of ShellScriptBuilder. It lets you use a Ruby DSL to generate shell scripts (currently only the bash dialect is supported). This is good stuff—I know I always forget how to do things like if statements and such in shell, and have to spend time poring over the man page and experimenting. Even better, the eventual goal with this is to tie it into Capistrano, so that you can specify your commands using Ruby instead of shell script. I’m looking forward to it!
