Implement half of tests in Bats

[hyperupcall]

This supersedes #1170. As mentioned in the issue that the PR links to, the testing suite is being converted from Pytest to Bash, mostly due to Pytest's poor support for Bash codecov.

I changed the formatting for files in bats/ because they use a lot of heredocs for improved readability of the stdout content assertions. According to the Bash manual (emphasis mine):

If the redirection operator is <<-, then all leading tab characters are stripped from input lines and the line containing delimiter. This allows here documents within shell scripts to be indented in a natural fashion.

This adds the first half of tests just to get things started. The suite can be ran with:

bats ./tests

In another PR, I'll rewrite the other half of tests, add documentation, and eventually remove the pytest stuff.

For a more detailed explanation of functions and commands (for those not as familiar with Bats), #1170 contains very verbose details in comments

Could we add a job in the CI to run the bats test? For now, we can run both py and shell until everything is done.

Great! pls replace the ci

git-extras/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 56 in fdaca2c

run: |

with the bats, that makes everything done easily.

[hyperupcall]

It's done! :)

The CI is broken: https://github.com/tj/git-extras/actions/runs/13717005098

Interestingly, GitHub doesn't clearly show that CI failed to run! It shows all green for me and the only difference is the omission of the "All checks have passed" text. I guess this is part of the new pull request status box they recently rolled out...

I made those changes 👍

Merged. Thanks!
