Slugger is a small script to create a slug from a given input.

Slugger is distributed as a Docker container, so you can run it anywhere and get a consistent slug back - like this:

$ docker run infolinks/slugger "Custom branch for my feature"
custom-branch-for-my-feature

To save it in a Bash variable:

$ SLUG=$(docker run infolinks/slugger "My Feature")
$ echo ${SLUG}
my-feature

Slugger will change colons, spaces, backslashes, dots, etc into dashes.

NOTE: slugger will not print a new-line at the end of the slug. So if you try this in an interactive Bash environment (not when using a script) you might see a % at the end of the line, similar to this:

$ docker run infolinks/slugger "Custom branch for my feature"
custom-branch-for-my-feature%

Don't worry about that % at the end of the output - it's just the terminal complaining about the missing end-of-line.
