UNB Command Line Interface (unb-cli)

unb-cli is a suite of tools created to standardize common project management tasks for UNB packages and applications.

unb-cli is available semi-publicly for the convenience of developers contributing to UNB packages. This package should be considered "unreleased" and absolutely no promises are made to keep backward compatibility in any way.

Installation

Install from the shell with:

pip install --user unb-cli --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/nickfrez/

Or add the following to your requirements.txt:

--extra-index-url https://gemfury.com/nickfrez
unb-cli==0.0.12

Or for dev install, clone the repo and use:

pip install -e /path/to/unb-cli/

Depending on your configuration and how you install unb-cli you may need to add something like the following to your shell startup scripts (.bash-profile, .bashrc, etc.):

if [[ $OSTYPE == linux* ]]; then
    # Linux
    export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
    source $HOME/.local/bin/unb.sh

elif [[ $OSTYPE == darwin* ]]; then
    # OS X
    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
    source /usr/local/bin/unb.sh

else
    # Unknown
    echo "OS Unknown.  Did not source unb command."
fi

Sourcing the unb.sh script makes the unb command available. The unb command is a lightweight bash function that wraps the unb-cli command to allow unb to modify the current shell session (for things like activating Python virtual environments).

Examples throughout this project and its documentation will assume that you use the unb function, instead of calling unb-cli directly.

Configuration

unb-cli project support can be configured through ~/.unb-cli.d/. This aspect of unb-cli is sorely under-documented.

Projects

Many UNB CLI commands operate on/in a project. A "project" is generally defined as a git repo. The "current project" is the repository stored at the first parent directory of $PWD that contains a .git directory.

Projects may be configured by a project configuration Python script located at ~/.unb-cli.d/projects/project-name.py.

For more documentation see:

Templates

Templates provide a convenient method of creating new projects, directories and/or files that conform to a standardized layout. Templates are powered by jinja2.

Templates are (currently) assumed to be stored at ~/.unb-cli.d/templates/*. At some point in the near future, a separate project will be released containing the standard templates used for UNB projects. Until that point, the template system is going to remain largely undocumented.
