DevToolBox is an open-source repository that provides a collection of installation, update, removal, and configuration scripts for a set of tools, software, and packages useful for developers, DevOps, and system administrators. It is a comprehensive toolbox designed to simplify and expedite the process of setting up a new development or deployment environment.
The DevToolBox project aims to facilitate the reinstalling or initial configuration of a system by bringing together ready-to-use scripts for common tasks. The well-organized repository's folders contain tool-specific scripts accompanied by clear documentation to guide users in their usage.
Whether you are a web developer, DevOps practitioner, or system administrator, you will find a variety of commonly used tools in DevToolBox, such as language interpreters, application servers, databases, deployment tools, container management tools, web frameworks, testing tools, and much more.
The objective of DevToolBox is to provide a centralized and collaborative resource, enabling developers worldwide to contribute by adding new folders with their own installation and configuration scripts for specific tools. This allows the community to share and benefit from collective expertise, simplifying installation procedures and facilitating the establishment of high-performance development environments.
DevToolBox is organized into two main folders at the root level: "Linux" for scripts specific to a Linux (bash) environment, and "Macos" for scripts specific to a macOS (zsh) environment. Within each of these folders, there are seven category folders:
- System: Contains scripts for system-related tasks such as system updates, hardware configuration, driver installation, etc.
- Multimedia: Includes scripts for installing and configuring multimedia software and tools.
- Programming: Contains folders for various programming-related tasks, including IDE installation, code editors, package management, and more.
- Devops: Holds scripts relevant to DevOps tasks such as container management, deployment, and infrastructure management.
- Network: Includes scripts for network-related tasks like network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
- Others: Serves as a catch-all category for any scripts that don't fit into the other main categories.
- Browsers: Contains scripts related to web browsers, such as installation, configuration, and plugins/extensions.
- UsefulScripts: This folder houses scripts for automating common tasks and utilities helpful for developers.
With this organization, DevToolBox provides a clear and structured approach to accessing various scripts for specific purposes. Users can easily navigate the repository and find the scripts they need based on their specific requirements or interests. Each subfolder of categories folders must contain a Readme file for explain how script work and how to use it.
