basHog

basHog is a dependency manager for bash and it allows you to use other projects in your own project.

Quick start

Prerequisites

• You have a bash shell.
• You have either git, curl or wget

There are three quick start options available:

On Linux

• Using apt-get :

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:athena-oss/athena
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bashog

On MAC OSX

• Using Homebrew :

$ brew tap athena-oss/tap
$ brew install bashog

Alternative

• Download the latest release
• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/athena-oss/bashog.git

How does it work

basHog fetches dependencies specified in a file called feed.hog that must be located at the root of your project. This file uses the INI file format with sections.

A dependency is identified by a section header and it is configured by the properties that are specified in that section. There are 3 available properties for a dependency :

• url - it identifies the url where the dependency can be fetched, e.g.:

# retrieves the dependency from master
url=git@github.com:athena-oss/bashunit.git

or

# using this format you are required to specify the version property
url=athena-oss/bashunit

• lib_dir - the relative location inside the project where the libraries are located, e.g.:

lib_dir=lib

• version - the version of the dependency

version=0.3.0

1. Declaring dependencies in feed.hog

1.1 using version in master (git only)

[bashunit]
url=git@github.com:athena-oss/bashunit.git
lib_dir=lib

1.2 using a specific version (curl or wget only)

[bashunit]
url=athena-oss/bashunit
version=0.3.0
lib_dir=lib

2. Fetching the dependencies

At the root of your project (where the feed.hog file is located), run the following command :

$ bashog

3. Using the dependencies in your project

...
source "./vendor/autoloader.sh"

bashunit.utils.print_info "Hello world!"
...
