Hi; My name is Luma, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share some insights on an essential aspect of avoiding pipes in git related commands in test scripts. I am an outreachy applicant for the December 2023 cohort and look forward to learning from you. One common practice in shell scripting is the use of pipes (|) to chain multiple commands together. While pipes are incredibly versatile and useful, excessive use of them can lead to script complexity. I plan to avoid overusing pipes in test scripts by: leveraging command options, using temporary files and using functions and variables to break down complex pipelines. If you have any questions on pipes, I'm always here to learn and share knowledge. Best regards, Luma.
