jsh

A solution to the ever-present problem of helping a colleague with a (relatively) clunky/inefficient terminal without proper tooling. JSH is the solution since it effectively allows for immediate ENV switching for quick help/debugging.

Usage

Loading a specific user ENV is done as follows:

jsh

Installation

brew install ki-labs/jsh/jsh

Or

brew tap KI-labs/jsh
brew install jsh

Testing

• build "empty" environment

 docker build -t empty:latest -f Dockerfile .

• set AWS ENVs

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=

• instantiate "empty" environment

docker run -it --rm -e USER=${USER} \
                -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
                -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
                -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION \
                empty:latest

• load "improved" environment (BASH)
  • alias (ll)
