Shell script to quickly start a Reason project, with autocompile and re-running of resulting JS files

Hi,

I’m learning Reason and I like to start a tonne of tiny “projects” while I learn. To make it super easy to start I’ve created the following (bash) shell script:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/nielsbom/87e2e936576baea0440b4e715863f201

reasonstart.sh

# Dependencies:
# - Bucklescript: https://bucklescript.github.io/en/
# - entr for watching file changes: http://entrproject.org/
# Source this file in your bashrc (or other shell) to have the command available
# Set your $EDITOR environment variable to the editor of your choice.
# To use: $ reasonstart my-new-project
# This will create and start the new project on the given location.
function reasonstart () {
  bsb -init $1 -theme basic-reason &&
  cd $1 &&

This file has been truncated. show original

It’s a very thin wrapper around bsb-init.

Feedback? Yes please
