megacoder/zshlogger

Runs shell commands, selectively capturing stdin, stdout, and stderr, to allow repeatable session output. Unlike script(1), zshlogger allows you to hide the real command output and insert fake output. Hidden commands can be used in the script to allow behind-the-scenes manipulation of the shell session. This comes in very handy if you want to automatically generate example code or demonstrate shell script examples for a textbook or a report.

💡 Overview

zshlogger is an open-source project written in C: Runs shell commands, selectively capturing stdin, stdout, and stderr, to allow repeatable session output. Unlike script(1), zshlogger allows you to hide the real command output and insert fake output. Hidden commands can be used in the script to allow behind-the-scenes manipulation of the shell session. This comes in very handy if you want to automatically generate example code or demonstrate shell script examples for a textbook or a report.

Engineered for speed, consistency, and developer ease, it solves common hurdles in C. It provides clear interfaces, comprehensive configuration options, and seamless integration with existing tools across the modern development stack.

⚡ Key Features

C99 or C11 compiler with CMake / make

Architecture

x86_64, ARM64 (Apple Silicon & Graviton)

🧠 How It Works

zshlogger coordinates its core functionality through a modular C pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Production System Integration

Embed zshlogger into C backend services to handle core application logic.

CI/CD Automated Pipelines

Run automated validation, builds, and integration suites during deployments.

Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open source license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install zshlogger using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/megacoder/zshlogger.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for zshlogger.

3

Import zshlogger into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

Execute your test suite or run `zshlogger --help` to verify successful setup.

👍 Strengths
