anas v1.0.0-alpha.2

anas

Objective

To build a CLI tool to utilize one-off scripts stored in a separate repository.

Why?

Our team wants to move one-off scripts & proof-of-concept code into a separate "utility" repository. We still want to be able to use these scripts from our application. Hence, anas was born.

What's with that name?

While looking for synonyms to "shoveler" (our utility repository is called picks-and-shovels) I stumbled across the genus of ducks that "shoveler ducks" belong to ... Anas. BOOM!

Usage

• Install from npm
  • yarn add anas or npm i anas
  • You might want to install globally ...
• Run anas from terminal:
  • anas copy yourSweetFile.js
  • You can copy multiple files:
    • anas copy yourSweetFile.js anotherFile.txt
  • Do stuff with your sweet file(s)
• Clean up after yourself:
  • anas cleanup
• Get help:
  • anas --help
• Get version:
  • anas -V

Options

• -r, --repository - the git clone URL (this defaults to our repository right now)
• --copy-destination - the path where you want your file copied (defaults to ./)
• --clone-destination - the path where you want the source repository cloned into (defaults to /tmp/)

Commands

• anas copy [files...] - clones source repository and copies file
• anas cleanup - rimrafs cloned repository & copied file

Notes

• A status file is saved in /tmp/ and is removed with Anas#cleanup
• git repository is cloned into /tmp/ by default
