I want to make a clear delineation on what is and is not allowed. From my experience on Reddit, communities in this niche were far too numerous and fractured. This community casts a fairly wide net, but intends to stay focused on the joy and pain of writing scripts.

• Allowed: Release Announcement of a command-line program designed for scripted use (e.g. bash, bats, awk, jq, coreutils/moreutils)
• Allowed: Tutorials on using shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
• Allowed: Code review/help requests for shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
• NOT Allowed: Announcement of a CLI or TUI program that is not designed for scripted use (Yes, your fancy Zsh plugin which pretty-prints the date and time using only builtins is very cool, but unless you actually want to discuss the code itself, find somewhere else to post it.)
• NOT Allowed: Domain-specific tutorials that do not involve shell scripting as a core component (e.g. docker-compose,
• NOT Allowed: Code review requests for non-shell programming languages and configuration languages (e.g. Python, Yaml)

In general, if your submission text is primarily shell code, then it is welcome here!
