Getting Started

Getting started with RC is easy.

  $ gem install rc

To use RC for all projects, add the -rc bootstrap feature to your systems RUBYOPT environment variable. You will want to add this to you start up scripts, depending on your system that will be .bashrc or .profile, or what have you.

  $ export RUBYOPT="-rc $RUBYOPT"

Alternately, you can add RC to your project's Gemfile, then is will work when ever you use bundle exec.

  gem 'rc'

Now you can specify tool configurations in your project's Config.rb file.

  config 'qed', profile: 'coverage' do
    require 'simplecov'
    SimpleCov.start do
      coverage_dir('log/coverage')
    end
  end

When the tool is run, with the corresponding profile, the configuration will be applied.

  $ profile=coverage qed

Or more concisely,

  $ p=coverage qed

As long as a tool is Ruby-based and has some means of global configuration, then RC can be used to configure it.

Tool developers can add direct support for Courtier to their project's with a simple snippet of code.

  require 'rc/api'

  configure 'mytool' do |config|
    MyTool.configure(&config)
  end
