Scotty: A beautiful SSH task runner

11 hours ago

Scotty is a new SSH task runner that allows defining and running deploy scripts and remote tasks from the terminal with real-time step-by-step visualization
It supports both Laravel Envoy's Blade format and a new plain bash format (Scotty.sh), offering tasks as annotated bash functions with server directives
Key features include: pausing/resuming execution with 'p' key, pretend mode for dry runs, summary mode for condensed output, and a doctor command for setup validation
The tool provides enhanced terminal output with task names, step counters, elapsed time, and command display, plus failure halting with immediate error output visibility
Scotty can read existing Envoy.blade.php files directly for migration and allows command-line variable passing (automatically uppercased) to tasks
