YSH and OSH shells in a container

## Build

Install `buildah` and `podman`.

Available releases are listed at https://www.oilshell.org/releases.html

Choose a release version, its checksum, and set a tag for your image.

```sh

version="0.22.0"

checksum="7ad64ad951faa9b8fd310fc17df0a93291e041ab75311aca1bc85cbbfa7ad45f"

image_tag="quay.io/chroot.club/oils:v${version}-debian"

```

Run the following command.

```sh

buildah unshare ./container.sh $version $checksum $image_tag

```

Or do this if you have `ysh` on your workstation.

```sh

buildah unshare ./container.ysh $version $checksum $image_tag

```

An `unshare` session is required, because our container.sh script

mounts the root filesystems of two working containers. This operation

would require root privileges otherwise. See `man buildah-unshare`.

## Usage

Oils is actually two shells

* `osh` - a new POSIX-compatible shell implementation to run your existing scripts

* `ysh` - a brand new shell language with better defaults, structured

          data types, and more

Currently, both shells are implemented by the `oils-for-unix` binary, and are

invoked via symlinks. The language (YSH or OSH) is chosen at runtime based on

whether `ysh` or `osh` is invoked.

Anyway, do one of these.

```

podman run --rm quay.io/chroot.club/oils:v0.22.0-debian osh -c 'echo hi from a POSIX shell'

podman run --rm quay.io/chroot.club/oils:v0.22.0-debian ysh -c '

    var wow = { native: ["json", "support"] }

    echo "omg a new shell with"

    json write (wow)

'

```
