DSH - the absent minded developer's shell

Organize the stuff you do via command line

You might use this if you:

• Forget how you did that stuff in that project from a while back
• Forget where stuff is
• Want a single, tab-completed view of the stuff you do
• Want to store credentials and stuff outside of project config
• Need to do sutff in separate contexts/environments such as development vs production
• Want a consistent 'api' for doing stuff

What it does

• At the most basic level, it executes commands expressed in yaml
• Creates a tree of 'contexts' which consist of vars, commands, and subcontexts
• Locates and merges contexts defined in .dsh.*.yml files
• Provides nested contexts/subshells for projects/environments under a root shell
• Changes current working directory to that of active shell
• Provides variable substitution
• Provides inherited variables with override

Sample .dsh.yml:

dsh: personal.python.proj

vars:
  app_name: projectX      

test:
  - pytest

install:
  - pip list installed | grep {{app_name}} && pip uninstall -y {{app_name}}
  - pip install -e .

release:
  - tox -r
  - rm -rf build && rm -rf dist
  - python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
  - twine upload -r pypi -u {{PYPI_USER}} -p {PYPI_PASS} dist/{{app_name}}*

Demo

With dsh.yml files similar to the above, a dsh session might look like this:

Installation

pip install dsh
