jig

Tired of making sure that everyone has the correct tools installed on their machine regardless of OS? jig will read the jig.yaml file and check your $PATH environment variable for installed tools.

How To Use

Note: Currently, there are no releases, so you have to build this from scratch.

1. clone the repo
2. make sure you have at least go 1.14 installed
3. make build
4. ./jig

You can update the jig.yaml file to include a list of tools that you expect to be installed.

Roadmap

• - check the $PATH for installed tools. Print a list of required programs that are not installed.
• - for programs that are not installed, attempt to install them using a package manager (ex: apt, brew, choco, scoop).
• - better document the schema of the jig file.
• - support transforming brew list -1 to a jig file (--import switch?)
• - allow for project specific jig files instead of looking for one in the current directory
• - check for required configuration files (which could be expressed in the jig.yaml file)
• - add a dry run option
• - check the version of tools and see if an update is available.
• - allow for OS equivalent packages to be expressed in the jig file
  • ex: pbcopy come pre-installed on a mac. on windows, they require a separate package. chocolately has a pasteboard package for this.

Not sure yet. I need to add tests and a roadmap of some kind. Feel free to submit issues if you have ideas.
