dash equivalent to bash's curly bracket syntax?

Question

In bash, php/{composer,sismo} expands to php/composer php/sismo. Is there any way to do this with /bin/sh (which I believe is dash), the system shell ? I'm writing git hooks and would like to stay away from bash as long as I can.

Answer 1

You can use printf.

% printf 'str1%s\t' 'str2' 'str3' 'str4'
str1str2    str1str3    str1str4
