yash 0.6.3

YAML to Bash

Sometimes I make reminds me how old I am, yash makes me feel like a baby again.

Getting started

Install with pip install yash.

The yash command will print out the jobs it find. Pipe it to bash if you want to execute what it generates:

yash                       # lists jobs
yash jobname               # print a job in bash
yash jobname | bash -eux   # run a job in a local bash shell

It will look for jobs in a yash.yml file that you could write as such:

---
env:
  someglobal: foo

---
name: example
script:
- myvar=x
- some
     --super
     --long=$myvar
     line

Then you could see your generated bash with yaml example and execute it with yaml example | bash -eux or something.
