scotch-cli

The Scotch command line interface.

Install this globally and you'll have access to the scotch command anywhere on your system.

npm install -g scotch-cli

Note: The job of the scotch command is to load and run the version of Scotch you have installed locally to your project, irrespective of its version.

Shell tab auto-completion

To enable tab auto-completion for Scotch, add one of the following lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file.

# Bash, ~/.bashrc 
eval "$(scotch --completion=bash)"

# Zsh, ~/.zshrc 
eval "$(scotch --completion=zsh)"

Installing scotch-cli locally

If you prefer the idiomatic Node.js method to get started with a project (npm install && npm test) then install scotch-cli locally with npm install scotch-cli --save-dev. Then add a script to your package.json to run the associated scotch command: "scripts": { "test": "scotch test" }. Now npm test will use the locally installed ./node_modules/.bin/scotch executable to run your Scotch commands.
