soenkehahnon Garn v0.0.16 ships with vitejs and GitHub pages plugins

garn v0.0.16 ships with a new plugin system and two plugins, for bundling vitejs projects and for deploying web apps to github pages

One working example is this:

  import * as garn from "https://garn.io/ts/v0.0.14/mod.ts";
  import * as pkgs from "https://garn.io/ts/v0.0.14/nixpkgs.ts";

  export const main: garn.Executable = garn.shell`${pkgs.jq}/bin/jq --version`;

Put that in a 'garn.ts' file and run 'garn run main' and you should see the version of 'jq' that you can get from our 'nixpkgs' module.

But yeah, I completely agree with the sentiment here. This is a rather cumbersome syntax to support a use-case that we don't even have examples for. So clearly the normal usage shouldn't force you to use template strings.

lol, no we haven't. That is hilarious though! We might steal that name for some future project.

Yeah, that's definitely the intention. If you end up trying it out, I'd love to hear how it went!
