Contribution guide

Generating of main script

Main script is autogenerated using script generate-script-from-config.bash in Develop directory.

Adding new features

Modify ./Develop/config.csv file and run:

bash ./Develop/generate-script-from-config.bash

After that, fill in generated file in scripts folder and then create pull request with your new feature :)

Workflow of script generating

Script generation workflow is as follows:

  1. Read config.csv file for:
  • state (TRUE/FALSE),
  • task - task name,
  • description - description of task
  1. Then subscripts folder and files are created (if not exist)
  2. Generate zenity main checklist menu.
  3. Generate case function for zenity checklist output.
  4. Generate rest of code to provide zenity summary and errors windows.
  5. Manually replace feature list in README.md with content of generated file: feature_list.md
