rails/thor

Thor is a Ruby library and command-line interface framework designed for building robust CLI applications. It provides a modular architecture for parsing arguments and options, managing shell output with support for color and HTML, and executing tasks or groups of commands. The system also includes a suite of file and directory manipulation actions for template rendering and file system operations.

The project was renamed from Hermes to Thor, marking a comprehensive migration from a custom CLI framework to the Thor library. This period involved reorganizing the codebase into modular components, updating the build system, and adding extensive test coverage for the new architecture.

This period focused on refactoring the shell output system into dedicated printer classes and introducing an HTML shell, while simultaneously restructuring the CLI parser with stricter type validation. The work also added new file and directory manipulation actions and expanded test coverage for these new components.

This period focused on refactoring the line editor to support Readline features like history and tab completion, while introducing a polymorphic design for better environment compatibility. Significant effort was also dedicated to expanding test coverage, including new fixtures for file mode preservation, file exclusion patterns, and ERB template error handling.
