-I was unable to find a way to directly run *multiple* commands via Docker/Podman. Instead of doing that, greg puts all the commands in a temporary script, mounts it inside, and then runs it with `shell`.

-`packages` contains the following fields:
-
-- `dependencies` (array): Lists dependencies for this package which gregory manages - don't list external dependencies in that field. This isn't required, but will ensure that gregory doesn't have to be run multiple times to get a package up-to-date.
-  - Note that the repo will be updated (`[update-repo]`) after any dependency it updated
-- `version-check` (array): Commands to be run to check the version of the package; what's printed to `stdout` will be counted as the version, and if anything is printed to `stderr`, the package will be ignored and an error will be logged. Additionally, if the package version seems to have decreased, then a warning will be logged.
