Where possible, replace the shell scripts with Clojure code.

Ideally we don't want to be calling out to the shell to perform part of the business logic. This should be translated to Clojure, using whatever libraries are appropriate for Git and file system.

Before going with shell scripts, I had also considered clj-jgit/clj-jgit, but since it is a wrapper around JGit and not real git, I had opted for using shell.

Babashka would work great for this.
