I’ve renamed the dotnet-console project on github to isop. Isop is the swedish name for hyssop. Like any spice it is intended to give flavor to the development of command line apps in .net.

There are some pitfalls. One for instance is that it starts the editor wrong when running msysgit in the cygwin shell. Naturally I tried specifying different paths and ended up with the following configuration of gitconfig: c:\\cygwin\\home\\wallymathieu\\.gitconfig [core]   editor = "\\"/c/Program Files (x86)/Vim/vim73/gvim.exe\\""

I’ve updated the dotnet-console to enable help. It’s not finished, but it’s looking better. Still needs a lot of refactoring though. The tests document the more stable fluent interface. The stuff behind the fluent interface is more prone to change. It’s an interesting experience to code the tests against a higher level api that is relatively stable (as an interface) and have an underlying changing implementation.
