scwrypts

Meta Scwrypts

The fastest way to configure scwrypts is through scwrypts! The ZSH scripts in this library are used to manage Scwrypts artifacts.

Configure

Great for first-time setup!

It is simple to edit the local dot-config and restart your terminal. It is much faster to hit CTRL+W and select config/edit through a fuzzy search. This will immediately open your custom configuration file and reload any necessary resources on save.

Environment

If you use Scwrypts, you should use these commands all the time. This is your gateway to managing scwrypts sandboxed environments.

Command	Description
edit	edit an existing environment
copy	create and edit a new environment from an existing one
delete	permanently delete an environment by name
stage-variables	stage missing variables; helpful for non-ZSH scwrypts
synchronize	uses template to add missing and remove extemporaneous variables

Environment Inheritance

You can make a child environment by naming an environment <parent-name>.<child-name>. Children inherit all parent-set values, and parent-set values overwrite child-set values. Remember that synchronize runs every time you edit an environment, so changes propagate to children immediately. Inherited values are denoted by # from <parent-name> in the environment file.

Nested children will inherit values from all parents.

Special Environment Variable Syntax

All environment variables which end in __[a-z_]+ are ignored by the template file. These environment variables will propagate to children, but will not be removed nor staged into the .env.template.

__select Environment Variables

Omit any variable, but provide a comma-separated list with the __select suffix, and the user will be prompted to select a value from the provided options.

In the following configuration, the user will be prompted to select an AWS_REGION once at the beginning of scwrypt execution:

export AWS_REGION=
export AWS_REGION__select=us-east-1,us-east-2,us-west-1,us-west-2

Setting the AWS_REGION variable will cause scwrypts to ignore the __select syntax.

CI will fail on select, because CI fails on any FZF prompt.

__override Environment Variables

Override any variable with the indicated value. This will take precedence over existing values and any other special environment variable types.

Examples of use:

• temporarily changing a single value in your current session (e.g. export VARIABLE__override=value)
• overriding a variable for a one-time command (e.g. VARIABLE__override=value scwrypts ...)

Logs

Quickly view or clear Scwrypts logs.

Virtualenv

In addition to the custom environment sandbox, scwrypts will load the appropriate virtual environment for the current script. Update / create the environment with update-all. Drop and recreate the environment with refresh.
