Accept user input #195

Open synedra opened 2 years ago

synedra commented 2 years ago

I need to have the user set up a github remote for their repository. Is there some way I can get and then use information in subsequent steps?

This isn't currently possible. But in order to allow user input, the comment UX can actually allow replying. And so we could have a step, that indicates it expected input, and prompts the user to provide it. Then, we could have some way to reference the input in subsequent steps. Out of curiosity: how would you need to reference the variable? As part of a command call? In the markdown contents?

Basically they need to ‘git remote origin https://github.com//tiktok-clone https://github.com/%3CTHEIRUSERNAME%3E/tiktok-clone

For now I made a bash script that should work.
