Overview

This class manages additions to bashrc system-wide. This facilitates a means to run a pre-defermined list of scripts which are fed data derived from puppet for all users on the system.

Currently implemented functionality:

• The ability to dynamically alter the colors of the user's prompt depending on hiera parameters.
• the ability to enable git integration with your tab completion
• the ability to customize the left and right sides of the prompt.
• The ability to display git branch statistics for the current branch

Work-In-Progress functionality:

• The ability to feed a script a list of portnames, protocol, port number, and detail level to report on at login
• The ability to feed a script a list of repositories, and their corresponding filesystem path. it can report the branch and status of the repository found at that location
  • GIT
  • bzr
  • svn
  • hg

Setup

What bashrc affects

• Directories:
  • /etc/profile.d
• Files: templated files are displayed like this
  • /etc/bashrc
  • /etc/profile.d/prompt.sh
  • /etc/profile.d/git_completion.sh
  • /etc/profile.d/git_prompt.sh
  • /usr/local/etc/svcstat.conf
  • /usr/local/bin/svcstat.py
  • /etc/profile.d/svcstat.sh

Setup Requirements

• Required Classes
  • stdlib

Beginning with bashrc

• include bashrc

Usage

This module is intended to be a foundation which can accept other extensions. Each piece of functionality is enabled or disabled in topscope, which inherits its' parameter values from class topscope.

Each submodule has default values in bashrc::config.

bashrc::setup is reponsible for the alterations to /etc/bashrc and the creation of /etc/profile.d

bashrc::prompt is responsible for prompt customizations like enabling or disabling and changing the colorization, enabling git branch awareness and enhancements.

Hiera Example for example profile module

profile::bashrc::enable_git_completion:  true
profile::bashrc::enable_prompt_color:    true
profile::bashrc::enable_prompt_mods:     true
profile::bashrc::enable_svcstat:         true
profile::bashrc::prompt_git_color:       'cyan'
profile::bashrc::prompt_git_enable:      true
profile::bashrc::prompt_leftblock:       '\u'
profile::bashrc::prompt_primary_color:   'blue'
profile::bashrc::prompt_rightblock:      '\h \W'
profile::bashrc::prompt_secondary_color: 'green'
profile::bashrc::prompt_separator:       '@'
profile::bashrc::svcstat_hash:
  apache: {
    name:   'Apache',
    string: 'apache2'
  }
