Script Seed

🌱 Seed scripts for popular (and unpopular) scripting languages.

Also, a great way to experiment with VS Code Dev Containers.

Visit the website to find a sample script in your favorite language. The idea is to give you just enough boilerplate code to parse command line arguments and give you a sense of how the language works.

Contributing

Script Seed needs your help! Please contribute by:

• Adding a new scripting language. I want to include everything that can be run on Ubuntu with a #! line.
• Improving existing script seeds. Each seed should be an example of best practices in the given language.
• Improving the look, feel, and usability of the GitHub pages site.

See CONTRIBUTING for more info.

Developer Environment Setup

This repository is configured with a VS Code Dev Container. You will have the best development experience if you use VS Code with the Remote Containers extension. In particular, every supported scripting language will be available in the dev container, and bin/server will work.

If you're not using VS Code, a Makefile is provided so you can get started quickly with the same Docker dev container. For example, simply run make shell to get an interactive prompt with all our supported languages available. You can leave that shell open to test your scripts while you edit them on the host machine in your favorite IDE.
