    Distrobox

    Distrobox

    Use any linux distribution inside your terminal

    Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Distrobox uses podman, docker or lilipod to create containers using the Linux distribution of your choice. The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio. Simply put it's a fancy wrapper around podman, docker, or lilipod to create and start containers highly integrated with the hosts. The distrobox environment is based on an OCI image. This image is used to create a container that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the operating system by providing access to the user's home directory, the Wayland and X11 sockets, networking, removable devices (like USB sticks), systemd journal, SSH agent, D-Bus, ulimits, /dev and the udev database, etc.

    kube-ps1

    Kubernetes prompt info for bash and zsh

    A script that lets you add the current Kubernetes context and namespace configured on kubectl to your Bash/Zsh prompt strings (i.e. the $PS1). The default prompt assumes you have the kubectl command-line utility installed. Official installation instructions and binaries are available. Blue was used for the default symbol to match the Kubernetes color as closely as possible. Red was chosen as the context name to stand out, and cyan for the namespace. 256 colors are available by specifying the numerical value as the variable argument. Due to the vast ways of customizing the shell, please try the prompt with a minimal configuration before submitting a bug report.

    Bats-core

    Bats-core

    Bash automated testing system

    Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash. It provides a simple way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected. A Bats test file is a Bash script with special syntax for defining test cases. Under the hood, each test case is just a function with a description. Bats is most useful when testing software is written in Bash, but you can use it to test any UNIX program. Test cases consist of standard shell commands. Bats makes use of Bash's errexit (set -e) option when running test cases. If every command in the test case exits with a 0 status code (success), the test passes. In this way, each line is an assertion of truth. The Bats source code repository is hosted on GitHub. There you can file bugs on the issue tracker or submit tested pull requests for review.

    Pure

    Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt

    Most prompts are cluttered, ugly and slow. We wanted something visually pleasing that stayed out of our way. Comes with the perfect prompt character. Author went through the whole Unicode range to find it. Shows git branch and whether it's dirty (with a *). Indicates when you have unpushed/unpulled git commits with up/down arrows. (Check is done asynchronously!). Prompt character turns red if the last command didn't exit with 0. Command execution time will be displayed if it exceeds the set threshold. Username and host only displayed when in an SSH session or a container. Shows the current path in the title and the current folder & command when a process is running. Support VI-mode indication by reverse prompt symbol (Zsh 5.3+). Makes an excellent starting point for your own custom prompt.

    CLI that replicates an Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow

    This repository provides a command-line interface (CLI) utility that replicates an Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) environment locally. The CLI builds a Docker container image locally that’s similar to an MWAA production image. This allows you to run a local Apache Airflow environment to develop and test DAGs, custom plugins, and dependencies before deploying to MWAA. To stop the local environment, Ctrl+C on the terminal and wait till the local runner and the postgres containers are stopped. You can setup the local Airflow's boto with the intended execution role to test your DAGs with AWS operators before uploading to your Amazon S3 bucket.

    bash-completion

    bash-completion

    Programmable completion functions for bash

    bash-completion is a collection of command-line command completions for the Bash shell, a collection of helper functions to assist in creating new completions, and a set of facilities for loading completions automatically on-demand, as well as installing them. The easiest way to install this software is to use a package; refer to Repology for a comprehensive list of operating system distributions, package names, and available versions. Depending on the package, you may still need to source it from either /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc (or any other file sourcing those). If you don't have the package readily available for your distribution, or you simply don't want to use one, you can install bash-completion using the standard commands for GNU Autotools packages. If you find that a given function is producing errors or does not work as it should under certain circumstances when you attempt completion, try running set -x or set -v prior to attempting the completion again.

    letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script

    letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script, just add water. Dehydrated is a client for signing certificates with an ACME-server (e.g. Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL) implemented as a relatively simple bash script. It uses the OpenSSL utility for everything related to actually handling keys and certificates, so you need to have that installed. Other dependencies are cURL, sed, grep, mktemp (all found on almost any system, cURL being the only exception). Please keep in mind that this software and even the acme-protocol are relatively young and may still have some unresolved issues. Feel free to report any issues you find with this script or contribute by submitting a pull request. dehydrated is looking for a config file in a few different places, it will use the first one it can find.

    desk

    desk

    A lightweight workspace manager for the shell

    Lightweight workspace manager for the shell. Desk makes it easy to flip back and forth between different project contexts in your favorite shell. Change directory, activate a virtualenv or rvm, load in domain-specific aliases, environment variables, functions, arbitrary shell files, all in a single command. Instead of relying on CTRL-R to execute and recall ("that command's gotta be here somewhere..."), desk helps shorten and document those actions with shell aliases and functions, which are then namespaced under a particular desk. Because Deskfiles are just enriched shell scripts, the possibilities are endless. For example, when doing work on AWS I have desk securely load AWS API keys into environment variables via pass -- no effort on my part, and no risk of accidentally persisting that sensitive information to a history file.
