just like LINK directive, there should one for running individual commands for SHELL directive.
Ex:
- shell:
- command: apt update && apt upgrade -y
if: lsb_release -i | grep -io 'debian'
description: Update APT package repository
- command: dnf update -y
if: lsb_release -i | grep -io 'fedora'
description: Update DNF package repository
why
- provides a better flow of running dotbot process
- can contain similar commands in a single shell directive.
- Ex: shell directive for updating repositories
- Ex: installing a package using package manager in one OS, downloading a script from another OS

This is already supported (without special syntax) by having the if
be part of the command itself. E.g.
- shell:
- command: "if (lsb_release -i | grep -io 'debian'); then apt update && apt upgrade -y; fi"
- description: Update APT package repository

True, you can do it that way.
I'm just hoping to keep the command
and if
condition separate
