external script support for commands about devshell HOT 3 OPEN

IDK what's you use case. Please, describe it in more details.

Currently, you can create a script file:

cat > hello.sh <<EOF
printf "hello!\n"
EOF
chmod +x hello.sh

Then, in devshell.toml (this repo uses this file for the default devshell), create a command that runs that file:

# ...
[devshell]
# ...
[[commands]]
help = "prints hello"
name = "hello"
command = "$PRJ_ROOT/hello.sh"
# ...

Now, you can run

$ hello
hello!

from devshell.

I think that will work for me.

I'm not sure what else to say about the use cases.

1. I want syntax highlighting so I can see errors.
2. Some people on my team don't want to use nix. They should be able to invoke the scripts too.

from devshell.

In that case, the best thing is to put the scripts in a ./bin or ./scripts folder in your project. Then only use Nix and devshell to bring the dependencies (eg: curl, jq, ...) as @deemp described.
