🚀 Getting Started

1️⃣ Install

First, make sure Bun and Carapace are installed.

2️⃣ Write Your First Script

Create a file named hello.js and add the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env gutenye-script.js

app
  .name('hello.js')
  .enableCompletion()

app.command('greetings [files...]')
  .completion({
    positionalany: ['$files'],

    $`
      ls -l ${files}

You can use <Tab> to autocomplete arguments or options while using the script.
