zshdb
A gdb-like debugger for zsh shell scripts with commands similar to bashdb and GNU gdb.
What is zshdb?
zshdb is a debugger for zsh shell scripts that mimics the command syntax of GNU gdb and the trepanning debuggers. It allows developers to step through, set breakpoints, and inspect variables in zsh scripts, similar to how bashdb works for bash scripts. The project started as a port of bashdb, ensuring command consistency across shell debuggers.
Developers and system administrators who write or maintain zsh shell scripts and need debugging tools to trace execution, inspect variables, and troubleshoot issues in their scripts.
zshdb provides a familiar gdb-like debugging experience for zsh scripts, reducing the learning curve for those already acquainted with gdb or bashdb. Its compatibility with editor integrations like Emacs and VS Code enhances the debugging workflow within popular development environments.
