Coding style – uses forks? about zunit HOT 6 CLOSED

@psprint Hi there. The project is definitely alive, and I'm using it regularly, I just haven't needed to add any new features for a while. I'd absolutely accept pull requests, and would even support a major version bump provided the changes warrant it. PRs to the next branch please.

FYI, that handbook is a very useful resource, I've bookmarked it already. Thanks for putting it together.

Great, it will be my following cool project to work on, after I will somewhat finish with fast-syntax-highlighting. Good that the project is active, I think a "suite" could be created for Zsh: zunit – tests, zshelldoc – Doxygen-like docs, ???. The third position, maybe shfmt or something similar, if it doesn't work with all Zsh syntaxes.

I like the idea - a suite was always in the back of my mind when I built zunit. I did start work on a linter but abandoned it as the method I was using (regex matching) was too naive to work properly with ZSH. We need some kind of AST to be able to support that unfortunately, and I don't have the knowledge to build one.

I have the idea from this blog post, when I looked how author equipped his bash-work with quite good quality tools, I've then got the "suite" idea. There's a linter for Bash apparently, maybe could fork it and easily (hopefully) adapt and extend to Zshell? It may be using AST.

I've recalled that I also did ctags, I've extended it to support variables, also multiple variables when defined with single local, typeset, etc., also when such variable is immediately assigned. Then, files aren't required to have *.sh or *.zsh extensions, because the ctags looks at emacs and vim modelines in first or last lines. I gave about 8 hours for all those updates, we could make it 16 more (2 days) and I wonder what would be extended. The enthusiasm to ctags might be misleading, I didn't use it even once to help my development, however, if that ctags will be part of larger suite, then maybe it will be like "naturally" used, in harmony, something like that.

If we decided to do the zsh-suite ecosystem, then maybe someone should register zsh-suite organization on Github?

I've worried that someone might read the conversation and register zsh-suite first, so I've created this organization today. Sent you invite.

Hello, should I proceed in making some moves (like building z-ctags project from what's already there) or maybe you would want to withdraw?

Following presents the custom ctags, they can be used directly from Zsh: https://asciinema.org/a/WkP3JV6rlVenqNolU1AuPLcJS. Basically we would have 3 elements in zsh-suite at the very start, I think that's much.
