Devinator

A simple tool to help start your development environment. It's fairly opinionated but can be twisted to your will.

How it works

Simply cd to your project and run devinator. It will do several things for you in this order:

  1. bin/setup
  2. launch your editor
  3. start tmux
  4. run the commands in Procfile.dev or bin/dev

With a dx setup

If you have some extra files they will be used to run your project in the dx environment. So running it would look more like:

  1. dx/build
  2. dx/start
  3. dx/exec bin/setup
  4. launch your editor
  5. start tmux
  6. run the commands in Procfile.dev prefixed with dx/exec or dx/exec bin/dev

Installation for Linux/OSX

  1. run ruby --version to confirm it's installed
  2. run tmux -V to confirm it's installed
  3. gem install devinator
  4. which devinator to confirm it installed and is in your $PATH

Configuration

Open ~/.config/devinator.rb with your editor of choice and add the following content:

Devinator::Config.configure do |config|
  # Use this to run any personal commands before the usual culprits, this is
  # useful for loading secrets and the like.
  config.setup_commands = []

  # If your editor is run in as :first_command or :last_command then this is the
  # title that tmux will get for that window.
  config.editor.title = "editor"

  # This is your editor command, if you're running it with a timing of
  # :end_of_setup then you will want to make sure this isn't foregrounded. I
  # belive `code` by default will go into the background, so that's a good setup
  # if you use VSCode.
  config.editor.command = ENV["EDITOR"]

  # This is when you want your editor command to run, the valid options are:
  #   - :end_of_setup
  #   - :first_command
  #   - :last_command
  #
  # :end_of_setup will call it as the last setup command before tmux is
  # launched.
  # :first_command will call it in the first window of tmux
  # :last_command will call it in the last window of tmux
  config.editor.timing = :first_command
end
