Running child processes in Swift is not hard with Process, but it can be a
bit tedious and repetitive.
System makes this task extremely easy. If you are familiar with Ruby
scripting (Rakefile, Fastlane, Danger, etc), you will feel like home.

try system(command: "echo hello world") // prints "hello world" to stdoutimport ProcessRunner
let output = try system(command: "echo hello world", captureOutput: true).standardOutput
