Takes your shell from Bland to Grand!

Installs Bash it which is an easy way to make your bash shell awesome

• apt cookbook
• yum cookbook
• git cookbook

The node['bash-it']['instance_default'] attributes are parsed out as defaults for the bash_it_instance resource

The node['bash-it']['repository'] and node['bash-it']['revision'] attributes are used to specify the git repo and revision to clone down bash-it from. It defaults to the official bash-it repo

The node['bash-it']['users'] attribute is an array of usernames that should have bash-it installed accoring to the instance defaults. FYI: I will probably deprecate this in the future

See attributes/default.rb for more details

• Apt & Yum Recipes
• Install Git
• Configure Bash it for users specified in node['bash-it']['users']

This recipe is not nessesary so long as git is installed before using the bash_it_instance LWRP

This recipe will install a global version of bash-it for all users on the system. I don't like this approach personally because it is not flexible and a shell should be configurable to a user's own preferances when possible

In any event, to use this recipe you just need to include bash-it::global

Note: You might need the bash-it::default recipe to install dependencies as well

This recipe will use the node['bash-it']['instance_default'] keys to determine plugins, aliases, ect.

To install Bash it for a user you simply put bash_it_instance <username> in your recipe. This is best placed in your users cookbook if you have one.

Default attributes for the bash_it_instance are stored as node attributes in the node['bash-it']['instance_default'] hash so that you can easily override the defaults

# Install Bash it for eddie's user

bash_it_instance 'edhurtig'

# Install Bash it for the root user

bash_it_instance 'root' do
  home '/root'
end

# Instance with a different theme

bash_it_instance 'edhurtig' do
  theme 'candy'
end

# the full set of options

bash_it_instance 'edhurtig' do
    home '/home/edhurtig-custom' # A custom home dir
    theme 'dulice' # Any Bash it theme
    git '[email protected]' # Custom Git Server
    scm_check true # Whether to check for SCM continuously
    plugins %w( base history ruby  ) # An array of plugins that should be active
    aliases %w( git rails tmux ) # An array of aliases that should be active
    completions %w( git ssh tmux test-kitchen ) # An array of completions that should be active
end

Include this recipe in a wrapper cookbook:

depends 'bash-it', '~> 1.0'

# Install bash it globally using the node['bash-it']['instance_default'] attributes
include_recipe 'bash-it::global'

# Install an instance of bash-it for a specific user using the defaults
bash_it_instance 'edhurtig'
