dab exec quoting (escaping)

[Oleg Butovich]

Hello All,

I spend really a lot of time to find out how can I pass quoted line to dab exec.. but it does not work for me
google has no examples also..

for example:

git config --global alias.gr "log --pretty=format:'%h %s' --graph"

should be run on vm machine how can I use dab exec in this case?
Do I have to escape it and how (I tried, but it does not work either)

Please help, what i am missing?

I think, I found how it can be fixed

in dab/scripts/defenv:

exec $@

should be changed to:

exec "$@"

In this case it can be used so:

dab exec git config --global alias.br \'log --pretty=format:\"%h %s\" --graph\'

That's the last line in /usr/lib/dab/scripts/defenv

Probably without escaping it can be

exec {$@}
