macOS support with short options only #19

Closed alanhoyle closed 1 year ago

alanhoyle commented 1 year ago

This allows macOS users to run GaPTools.

macOS's getopt is based on the BSD version which does not support long command line options like --help.

The changes detect darwin* os types, forces using the short command line options (-h, etc.), and prints a warning as appropriate.

This addresses #14.

It also improves the output_files directory in the repo .gitignore, removed a few trailing whitespace characters on a few lines. It also fixes and improves formatting, and adds and fixes links in the README.md .

On some Docker installations, Compose is accessible via docker compose and not docker-compose and this works around this by searching for both and using the one it finds.

Tested on Mac, and worked as expected. Thanks, Alan.

Something failed about the merge as I don't see the changes reflected in ncbi:master
