Step-shell is a lightweight shell script debugging software that enables the user to execute a script one line or step at a time.
Step-shell is a superb shell script debugging tool that enables developers to run through a script line by line. Originally named 'step', it has since been renamed to make its function more explicit. The creator of this tool felt that existing solutions failed to provide line by line debugging, so set out to create a minimalist and user-friendly tool.
To use step-shell, simply type './step script_to_run_by_step.sh', making it easy to integrate into your scripting workflow. Compilation is also easy thanks to a simple 'make' command. For those wanting to integrate step-shell system-wide, simply run 'make install' as root. The tool is then installed to '/usr/bin' and '/usr/man/man1/' by default.
The new release boasts several enhancements. Output has been improved with updated colors, error notifications and count are displayed at the end of execution, and error lines are now displayed as they occur. Lastly, the code has been refactored to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Overall, step-shell is an excellent tool for anyone looking to debug their shell scripts.
