Why Bearshell?

Bearshell is inspired by the excellent zx. If you want a broad set of features, Bearshell isn't right for you. Fundamentally, Bearshell is a lightweight wrapper around child_process which enables syntax like

// Bearshell
$`echo hello world`;
// child_process
execSync("echo hello world");

// Bearshell
await $.async`echo hello world`;
// child_process
await new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
  exec("echo hello world", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (error) {
      throw error;
    } else if (stderr) {
      reject(stderr);
    } else {
      resolve(stdout);
    }
  })
);
