Read Shellman story on medium (3 min read).
Instead of language specific syntax, here Shell Scripting, Shellman focuses on programming concepts. These concepts are grouped under namespaces. For example string namespace to name a few contains:
• concat • length • reverse • toLower • toUpper • trim • ...
to activate desired snippet you need to type string and select desired snippet from listed snippets i.e. string reverse. Using TAB key fill needed info and you are done.
Sometimes doing a job takes more than a snippet. Shellman has ready to use functions to put into your code if you type fn, and selected function usage is available after typing fx. For example the function to create a banner with desired text can be accessed via fn banner simple and to call this function the snippet is fx banner simple. Pass required parameters and a banner with your text would be printed.
