This is great, and definitely scratches an itch that I’ve had. A couple questions:

1. How do I install this? Is it a clojar or a separate binary?

2. How do I use it? You reference bbb once in the README but then use bb in examples farther down.

Both of these may be ID10T errors where I missed a link to additional documentation…

Hey hgranthorner, it’s actually a template repo, so the idea is you clone it and use it as a base to write your own CLI tools with. Under the hood the bb.edn/deps.edn files control pulling in the libraries and tools needed to let you build command line apps this way. The bb commands are just making use of babashka’s Makefile-like task runner feature [1] to automate the build process.

I’ll update the docs to make that a little clearer :)
