CLI Reference
The dryLang compiler provides a command-line interface to execute and manage your scripts.
Running Scripts
You can run scripts using the dry (or y) command:
bash
# Run a single file
dry script.y
dry script.dry
# Run multiple files (concatenated in order)
dry lib.y,main.y
# Run all .y and .dry files in a directory
dry myfolder
dry .
# Run all .y and .dry files in the current directory (alternative)
dry all
Remote Execution
dryLang can execute scripts directly from the internet or GitHub:
bash
# Run a script from a raw URL
dry https://example.com/script.y
# Run from a GitHub repository (looks for idx.y by default)
dry github.com/user/repo
# Run a specific file from a GitHub repository
dry github.com/user/repo/path/to/script.y
Creating Projects (Scaffolding)
Use the init command to scaffold a new project from built-in templates.
bash
dry init [directory] [template]
Examples:
bash
# Create an empty project in the current directory (creates idx.y)
dry init .
# Create a project in a new folder called "myapp"
dry init myapp
# Create a REST API project in the current directory
dry init . api
# Create a Web File Server in a new folder
dry init website web

REPL (Interactive Mode)
If you run dry without any arguments, it starts the interactive REPL:
