Sla (Simple Little Automator 🥗) v1.1 now supports long rule descriptions

Saturday, September 26th, 2020

Version 1.1 of the Simple Little Automator adds the ability to have long descriptions for build rules. For example:

install () {
    # Install sla
    # Install sla to $PREFIX (/usr/local by default).
    #
    # You can specify the prefix with an environment variable:
    # 
    # $ PREFIX=/usr sla install
    
    # Set the prefix
    PREFIX=${PREFIX:-/usr/local}
    DEST="$PREFIX/bin/sla"
    env install -m 755 ./sla "$DEST"
    echo "sla installed in $DEST"
}

This documentation can then be access using sla <rule> --help. E.g.:

$ sla install --help
install: Install sla

    Install sla to $PREFIX (/usr/local by default).
    
    You can specify the prefix with an environment variable:

        $ PREFIX=/usr sla install
