rune

Notice: I am currently porting the existing functionality exposed as bash scripts to a Rust-based CLI program. Expect breaking changes.

rune is an opinionated configuration management tool with a specific focus on an engineer's development environment. Originally consisting of a collection of shell scripts, configuration files, etcetera to bootstrap my development environment in a fresh Ubuntu installation for various programming languages and frameworks, rune's purpose and scope have morphed to address what I feel is a lack of a consistent, repeatable, and configurable tool to setup and maintain a development environment.

This project also represents a learning environment and playground for the Rust programming language and me. I have been letting the waves lap at my feet in regards to Rust, and I plan to use this project as the spring board to dive in and take the plunge.

At present, development will be focused on PopOS! as this is the Ubuntu distribution that I use. However, as this portion of the project stablizes I plan to expand support for various Unix environments and distributions. A contributor's guide will also be fleshed out, as I'm certainly no expert on all of them and their various idiosyncrasies and would welcome both interest in the project and feedback on my own implementation.

Getting Started

tldr;

Run the following commands:

# Build the artifact
cargo build

# Still undecided at approach, but currently if the exposed functionality needs
# root privelages you will need to execute the binary using sudo.

# Non-privelaged tasks
./target/debug/rune

# Privelaged tasks
sudo ./target/debug/rune

Roadmap

The planned features for v1.0.0 are the following:

• Installation and support for various command-line tools such as vim, bat, lsd, docker, etc.,
• Installation and support for various text editors and IDEs (Vim, Atom, VSCode, IntelliJ),
• Installation and support for various programming languages and frameworks,
• Installation and support for bash-it,
• git configuration and support,
• and installation of developer fonts and common web fonts.
