magic_shell Cookbook

Provides utility for adding some syntactic sugar to your shell.

Usage

Update the metadata.rb for your cookbook to depend on magic_shell

depends 'magic_shell'

Use the magic_shell_alias resource to create a command alias.

magic_shell_alias 'myrailsapp' do
  command 'cd /opt/myrailsapp/current'
end

This will alias myrailsapp to cd /opt/myrailsapp/current.

You can also remove aliases:

magic_shell_alias 'myrailsapp' do
  action :remove
end

Use the magic_shell_environment resource to create a shell environment variable.

magic_shell_environment 'EDITOR' do
  value 'vim'
end

This will export an EDITOR environment variable with a value of vim.

You can also remove environment variables:

magic_shell_environment 'EDITOR' do
  action :remove
end

Userspace environment variables and permissions for security or virtualenvs

magic_shell_environment 'EDITOR' do
  value 'vim'
  owner 'username'
  group 'groupname'
  mode  '0600'
  destination '/home/user/.profile.d/'
end
