Setup

Easily setup projects, and much more.

Configuration

First create a .setups directory in your home directory.

Then any directory inside ~/.setups will be considered a setup, with the setup name being the name of the directory.

To configure a setup, create a .config.setup inside a setup directory.

The following commands are available:

• echo [arguments...]: print its arguments
• file <filename>: copy filename to the directory from where the script is run
• command <command> [arguments...]: run the command from where the script is run

The arguments are separated by spaces, and can be quoted. For example (_ is a space), _command__"my_arg__1"__my_arg_2 is evaluated as ["command", "my_arg__1", "my", "arg", "2"].

Specials characters can be escaped with a backslash.

Colors can be added using:

• ${COLOR:n} for numbered terminal colors (0 to 255),
• ${COLOR:r:g:b} for rgb colors,
• ${RESET} to reset the color.

Example

With the following configuration, the example setup will:

• print a message,
• copy myfile.txt to the current directory,
• print a message,
• list the current directory,
• print a message,
• get the content from myfile.txt from the current directory,
• print a message.

$ ls ~/.setups
example
$ ls -a ~/.setups/example
.  ..  .config.setup  myfile.txt
$ ~/.setups/example/.config.setup
echo    ${COLOR:4}Copying myfile.txt${RESET}
file    myfile.txt
echo    ${COLOR:4}Checking list of files${RESET}
command ls
echo    ${COLOR:4}Checking content${RESET}
command cat myfile.txt
echo    ${COLOR:2}All good!${RESET}
