I have a concern regarding "Yes". I find it a bad idea to use this since what if you encounter a new tool? Maybe you install something and Yes makes it install, or maybe skip, dependencies that's crucial to have/not have in the project
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
If you're particularly concerned about it doing something you don't want, you can use an expect script instead. It's kind of like selenium for the command line.
Yup, you are right. yes program may do unexpected thing, but sometimes you do know the script very well and you know all the questions.
Maybe I should change the example and add some warning

A lot of commands take a
-yflag too.If you're particularly concerned about it doing something you don't want, you can use an

Thanks, PatricNox! I've added little warning in the post
