Hey Peter! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond on this -- I have a lot on my plate right now. Anyway, the help command is useful. I'd be happy to merge that. I had readline integration in the past, but I always found it kind of buggy on my machine. I'll take a look and see if this works any better than what I had before. As for venvs, I think probably the right thing to do is use uv inside of garden.sh, and hide all of this from the user. I don't love the clear command; os.system is a hack. Honestly, a good terminal emulator should have a Ctrl-L binding for clearing the screen, so I'd advise that you use that. Rest of it looks pretty good. I'll make some code suggestions and then we can merge this. |
