Universal Tooling/Aliases and Hierarchy #28
Description
Devtool could provide a cross-platform alias/tooling management platform to meet the needs of not only a single project, but an org, a specific host, or an individual developer.
- Project-based tooling, as always
- Host-based tooling that can be run anywhere on the machine, based on Host commands based on Bun $Shell #20, basically sharable, pluggable aliases
- Org-defined tooling that applies to any of the org's projects/apps. Maybe this is just a plugin required by each of their projects
- User-defined tooling (.devtool.local.yml)
- Establish a hierarchy for overriding tooling so that a general org-based command can exist that can be overridden by a more tightly-scoped definition like host, app, local, or user.
- Maybe there should be separate local and user scopes so you can have config for a local environment, similar to a .env file used only on prod, then a
userscope for a dev's personal preferences that overrides everything else. - Maybe implement a concept similar CSS's
