#pipette

Summary

Pipette is a small Rails app which lets registered users create, execute, and post comments on snippets containing Bourne shell commands.

Features

Each signed in user can create and edit her snippets.

Snippets have:

• a title
• content
• execution output (only the latest execution result is persistent)

A snippet might look like something along the lines of:

ls -lah ~
cat file.txt
echo "Hello world"

Note: Currently, Pipette only supports single-line commands, and execution output is not persistent at all.

The commands are executed by Tourette, a Sinatra-powered JSON API endpoint.

Reasoning

Pipette is the result of an internship application process, and is a toy project which attempts to serve as a reference implementation for some common web application functionalities, while also covering those functionalities with RSpec and Cucumber tests.
