ReSc (Remote Script)

resc is a CLI tool that executes remote bash scripts located on Github on your local machine. This allows you to:

• Share your scripts easily
• Run your scripts everywhere (as long as it is a mac or linux machine 😉)

Install

OS X

$ wget -O /usr/local/bin/resc https://github.com/JulzDiverse/resc/releases/download/v0.4.0/resc-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/resc

OR

Homebrew

$ brew tap julzdiverse/tools
$ brew install resc

Linux

$ wget -O /usr/bin/resc https://github.com/JulzDiverse/resc/releases/download/v0.4.0/resc-linux-amd64 && chmod +x /usr/bin/resc

Hello, World!

You can use resc to run resc scripts located in any Github repository. For example, let's run a Hello, World! script:

$ resc run hello-world --repo JulzDiverse/remote-scripts

This runs the hello-world script located in the JulzDiverse/remote-scripts repository.

resc scripts

resc scripts require one or more top level directories inside a GitHub repository that contain a run.sh script, a .resc, and a README.md file. In case of the hello-world script the directory looks like this:

.remote-scripts
└── hello-world 
   ├── .resc 
   ├── run.sh 
   └── README.md

• The directory name (here hello-world) indicates the script name
• The .resc is an empty file that indicates that the directoy is a resc script directory
• The run.sh is the bash script that is run by resc
• The README.md is a Markdown file that provides information for a script (eg description, usage). The README.md is processed by the resc CLI and should only contain the following markdown syntax:
  • H1 (#)
  • H2 (##)
  • Bold (**text**)
  • Italic (_text_)

Usage

🏃 Run resc scripts (run)

Running a resc script is nothing more than:

$ resc run <script-name> --repo <github-user|github-org>/<github-repo>

or if you have set a default repository, it's even simpler:

$ resc run <script-name>

You can provide parameters to a script using --args|-a option. Try it:

$ resc run hello-world -r JulzDiverse/remote-scripts -a your-name

You can also run a specific script located anywhere in a repository by providing the path to the script:

$ resc run -s <path/to/script.sh> -r JulzDiverse/remote-scripts

🧐 Set default resc script repository (set)

You can set a default resc script repository, s.t you are not required to specify the repository of a script everytime you execute the resc run.

$ resc set <github-user|github-org>/<github-repo>

✅ List all available scripts in a resc repository (list)

If you want to know which resc scripts a repository provides, you can list all of them using list.

If you have set a default repository you can run just:

$ resc list

If you want to list scripts of a specific repository, run:

$ resc list <github-user>/<github-repo>

📖 Get some script info (man)

If you want to know what a script does before you run it, you can check the provided README by calling man:

$ resc man <script-name> 

🖨 Print a script (print)

If you want to see what a script exactly does or you want to save it to your local machine, you can use the print command:

$ resc print <script-name>

to save a script, pipe it to a file:

$ resc print <script-name> > script.sh

🌿 Specifing a Branch

Each resc command has the --branch|-b option, where you can specify a specific branch of a repository you want to use to execute a script. For example:

$ resc run hello-world -r JulzDiverse/remote-scripts -b develop

The default branch used is always master. You can, however, set a default branch if required:

# if you have set your defaults already: 
$ resc set -b develop

# if you haven't set your defaults:
$ resc set <owner>/<repo> -b develop

💻 Development

$ go get github.com/JulzDiverse/resc (or git clone repository)
$ dep ensure
