A beast does not know that he is a beast, and the nearer a man gets to being a beast, the less he knows it. (George MacDonald)
Beastmaster is a Bash tool which can run any command in your favorite projects (aka pets).
Example:
bst order my_project git status
Copy bst latest release in your /usr/local/bin or use the automated script below:
\curl -sSL http://git.io/A3R2 | bash -s
First you have to tame your project to keep them close. Use tame command.
Go in your project and type bst tame:
> cd ~/code/my_project
> bst tame
my_project is now tamed!
You can choose a name if the default name does not suit you (the path basename):
> bst tame cool_project
If the directory is a root directory containing projects, you can tame them all with --root:
> ls
cool_project crasy_stuff
> bst tame --root
cool_project is now tamed!
crasy_stuff is now tamed!
The taming directory is the current one but you can override this with --directory:
> bst tame --directory ~/code/my_project
Since they all look the same you can tag your projects to recognize them. Use --tags name1,name2 option when taming:
> bst tame --tags cat_related,java
For simplicity sake, tags won't work with comma or eol (oh really?) in it.
After having tamed your little army, it's time to order some commands to test your charisma. Use order command.
Each command are run in the project directory.
If you want to refresh a single project:
> bst order my_project git pull origin master
To check the status of all projects tagged as github:
> bst order --tags github git status
To run the tests of all projects named like "js_project*"
> bst order "js_project*" npm test
Do not forget the "..." to prevent some tricky string interpolation.
bst order options should be placed before name (if any) and command to not mess with command own options.
If you don't remember all the minions you have, just use the list command to display all the projects.
> bst list
cool-project at /home/alone/dev/cool-project #java #git #hobby
bowling-kata at /home/alone/dev/kata/bowling-kata #python #training
Sometimes the cutest project may turn out to be perfectly useless. The free command can handle this situation.
> bst free my_project
my_project is running away...
If you want to clean the mess, open the configuration file:
> nano ~/.bst/config
Pro tip: if the EDITOR global variable is set, you can also use the config shortcut:
> bst config
The config file use this simple convention:
name:path:tag1:tag2
Example:
cool-project:/home/alone/dev/cool-project:java:git:hobby
bowling-kata:/home/alone/dev/kata/bowling-kata:python:training
Beastmaster can be updated with update command, provided you have curl installed.
> bst update
I would like to thank those awesome and inspiring projects below. I have learn a lot using them.
