Make Bash utilities usable in Fish shell. Bass makes it easy to use utilities written for Bash in fish shell.
Regular bash scripts can be used in fish shell just as scripts written in any language with proper shebang or explicitly using the interpreter (i.e. using bash script.sh). However, many utilities, such as virtualenv, modify the shell environment and need to be sourced, and therefore cannot be used in fish. Sometimes, counterparts (such as the excellent virtualfish) are created, but that's often not the case.
Bash Infinity is a standard library and a boilerplate framework for writing tools using bash. It's modular and lightweight, while managing to implement some concepts from C#, Java or JavaScript into bash.

A generic shell script compiler. Shc takes a script, which is specified on the command line and produces C source code. The generated source code is then compiled and linked to produce a stripped binary executable.
The compiled binary will still be dependent on the shell specified in the first line of the shell code (i.e shebang) (i.e. #!/bin/sh), thus shc does not create completely independent binaries.

Code coverage tool for Bash. Bashcov is a code coverage analysis tool for Bash. In most cases, you'll want overall coverage results for your project from shUnit2, Bats, bash_unit, assert.sh, bashaspec, etc. Bashcov automatically takes care of this by caching and merging results when generating reports, so your report includes coverage across your test suites and thereby gives you a better picture of blank spots. It uses the SimpleCov coverage library to generate HTML reports. SimpleCov gets installed automatically when you install Bashcov.
