Bash kernel on binder

[mwouts]

Hello @takluyver ,

Thank you for the Bash Kernel, I find it so useful to share or demo bash scripts!

Would you like to provide a link to a binder with the bash_kernel? This is what this PR does.

The link in the README will work only once this PR is merged. Meanwhile you can test it at
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mwouts/bash_kernel/bash_kernel_on_binder

If you like we could also think of

• documenting how to do this in the README
• adding jupytext to binder/requirements.txt to allow Jupyter to open .sh files as Bash notebooks

Let me know what you think,

Marc

Hi @mwouts, I've recently taken on co-maintaining bash_kernel, and I'm currently closing all old/stale issues and PRs.

Does this PR still work with the latest version of binder? I don't use binder myself so I have no idea. If this is still both functional and useful, I'd be happy to merge it (unless @takluyver objects).

If this isn't useful any more, let me know and I'll close it (or you can)

Hi @kdm9 , yes I expect this PR to work with the latest version of bash_kernel.

The simplest way to test this assumption would be to rebase the branch and then click on the link https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mwouts/bash_kernel/bash_kernel_on_binder to make sure the Bash kernel is indeed available there.

Should I do the rebase or do you want to do it yourself?

[mwouts]

By the way, congratulations @kdm9 for becoming a maintainer of this project!

[kdm9]

Should I do the rebase or do you want to do it yourself?

If you could, please do it yourself, as then your link above will work. I assume it wouldn't if I did it as it would be in this repo.

Hi @kdm9 , I've just done the merge with the main branch so this PR is up to date.

I confirm the binder link still works (https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mwouts/bash_kernel/bash_kernel_on_binder for this PR, will be https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/takluyver/bash_kernel/master in README.rst).

Here is a screenshot of Binder with the Bash kernel available:

Niiiice :)

Thanks a bunch @mwouts . I'm happy to merge then.

@takluyver I'll merge this later today unless I hear any objection as I think you've seen this already since you commented up thread. Or just hit the button yourself of course :)

[takluyver]

Nothing I like better than pressing buttons - thanks for getting things moving again.

I suppose we could also think about having a brief demo notebook in the repository to give people something to look at on Binder.
