Is there any security consideration for the "bash name"? about bashly

[DannyBen]

Well,

The fact that command.name did not allow for dot, was definitely an oversight. I fixed that.
If you wish to use it right away, you can use the edge version - let me know if you need help with that.

As for creating multiple scripts due to complexity - sure, it is an option.

Just to give you a few more options to consider - not sure if any of these will help you, but you should be aware they exist to help with complex scripts.

1. There is the option to separate the bashly config file into several files. More info in the Advanced Features > Split Config section of the docs.
2. There is an option to create extensible scripts. Sort of like git does: If you place an executable file named git-anything in your path, then running git anything will execute it. More on this in the Advanced Features > Extensible Scripts section of the docs.

As always, let me know if you need further help.

Hmm. Good question.

As a general notion, security is not really a consideration, since we only generate a bash script, and the assumption is that the user using bashly is not malicious towards their own machine.

I don't think this particular regex is limited intentionally. In fact, it does not even allow cli.sh or MyCamelScript.

I will review if there was a reason for it, but if not, will definitely loosen that regex a bit.

Thanks for raising this issue. I will update here as soon as I find something or make the change.

The validation for command.name was implemented in #345 following #344.
I see uppercase letters were disallowed on purpose.

Thanks for your warm reply！
Yes, currently I have a situation. For example, a traditional bash script hello.sh with quite a lot of subcommands causing system complexity. As a result, I separate it into different modules, such as hello-nice.sh, hello-bye.sh, hello-world.sh etc.
The '-' & '_' can be well applied.
hello.nice.sh, hello.bye.sh, hello.world.sh, or even hello.nice, hello.bye, hello.world will it be a good implement or not, in your opinion?
