I would like to bootstrap a Git project right after it has been downloaded or cloned using a script. However, I will be running across Windows and uNIX (Linux, MacOS, ...). So I need to have a cross-platform solution.

I had a look at Microsoft JScript and Apple JXA. However, JXA is only available since Yosemite, and JScript is...a Microsoft thing. Not very easy to get around, but not impossible either - luckily.

I can befriend myself with having to expect MacOS users to at least have Yosemite installed, but what about Linux users? I haven't seen a per-default JavaScript executor for Linux yet. True, I could be using node, but Node is in fact very big in comparsion to my project (a project based on Gravity) and as it includes a scripting language on it's own, downloading NodeJS kinda feels like defeating the purpose entirely.

So, JavaScript is the one that I picked off my knowledge; but what native, without-installation (if possible) scripting languages are there?

All I want to do is:

• Locate programs (gcc, clang, cl, ...)


• Concatenate files (i.e.: cat deps/gravity/src/.../*.c > gravitylib.c)


• Run programs (gcc test.c -o test && ./test)

Kind regards,
