Attach

A replacement of the docker exec. Works with any container, brings bash/fish/zsh shell, NixOS based paket manager, dynamic port forwarding, nice prompt and more.

Usage: gremlin attach [OPTIONS] CONTAINER.

Built-in commands:

• install: add any tool available on NixOS
• uninstall
• forward --port : [args...]: for dynamic port forwarding

The original/target container stays untouched/unmodified.
