scallop

Scallop wraps a forked version of bash supporting shell interactions (e.g. writing builtins or modifying variables, arrays, and functions) natively in rust.

Development

Note that currently the development workflow involves force pushing to the bash repo in order to keep the patch stack in order when upstream changes are merged.
