a factory of images, interesting...
this comes to mind:
Werner Vogels, Amazon's CTO, once said "make your administration part of the app"
this feature seems to open that door in a deep level for Pharo
and we want to have OSProcess integrated in the system too :)
keep the good work

Very cool and useful!!!
I bet that most of the work that bash is doing could be done from the image. So a nice next to for the future could be...
ImageInstaller new installNewImageWithName: '' intoDirectory: '' withConfigurations: #(...), etc..

there you go, a new image named CI with the given configuration installed.
We still have to extend the API a little bit to support loading specific groups from a Metacello config + accessing repositories by username and password.

Beautiful software !
I think I would first save under a new name without deleting and then do an install to keep the original clean.
Good work.
