Consular

Consular automates your development workflow setup.

Read the rest of the README and check out the wiki for more info!

Setup && Installation

Install the consular gem and init:

$ gem install consular
$ consular init

This will generate a global path directory for your scripts to live in at ~/.config/consular and also a .consularc in your home directory. You can customize your Consular further with .consularc. Say for example, that you didn't like the default global path:

# ~/.consularc

Consular.configure do |c|
  c.global_path = '/a/path/i/like/better'
end

IMPORTANT

After that, you'll need to install a 'core' so you can run Consular on your desired platform.

Cores

Cores allow Consular to operate on a variety of platforms. They abstract the general behavior that consular needs to run the commands. Each core inherits from (Consular::Core) and defines the needed methods. Some of the cores that are available are:

OSX - Mac OS X Terminal
iTerm - Mac OS X iTerm
Terminator - Terminator
Gnome - Gnome Terminal

Feel free to contribute more cores so that Consular can support your terminal of choice :)

To integrate core support for your Consular, you can simply require it in your .consularc like so:

# .consularc
require 'consular/osx'

Or check the README of each individual core.

Development Setup

To begin development on Consular, run bundler:

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

The test suite uses Minitest to run the test run:

$ rake test

or use watchr:

$ watchr spec.watchr

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
