shell-to-english

converts shell to plain english

examples

require('shell-to-english')('ls -art')
//list all files, sorted oldest first by modification time in the current directory

how?

parses shell AST using https://github.com/grncdr/js-shell-parse. then further argument parsing is done by https://github.com/substack/minimist. then english generation is hard-coded with the help of https://github.com/janl/mustache.js.

see cd.js for a simple example.

tests

npm test or mocha
