Tomtit profiles

With the latest version of Tomtit you might start using profiles - predefined sets of tasks. Instead of writing a code from the scratch you install scripts defined for some commonly used categories.

Categories

To list available categories run tom --profile, you'll get the list:

• ado // helper scripts for Azure Devops
• git // helper scripts for Git
• hello // Sample helper script
• perl // helper scripts for Perl5 developement
• perl6 // helper scripts for Perl6 development
• ruby // helper scripts for Ruby ( for now just rvm installer )

Once you choose a desired category - simply deploy category scripts right into your tomcat cache:

git clone $project
tom --profile git
tom --profile perl6

Once profile is executed it installs all its scripts:

tom --profile git
install git@commit ...
install git@pull ...
install git@push ...
install git@set-git ...
install git@status ...

It saves your time when bootstrapping a new project. Many scripts are ready to use straight away, some requires slight adjustment. Here we need to take a slight modifications to set up our local git repository, replacing stub with our personal data:

.tom/set-git.pl6:

#!perl6

task-run "set git", "git-base", %(
  email => 'user@email.com',
  name  => 'User Name',
  config_scope => 'local',
  set_credential_cache => 'on'
);

Here we are ready to use our freshly installed scripts:

• tom set-git // to set git repository, should be run once
• tom commit // to commit changes to git
• tom push // to push changes to bit

The same way we're using helpers for Perl6 development workflow:

tom --profile perl6 
install perl6@install ...
install perl6@release ...
install perl6@set-pause ...
install perl6@test ...

Now:

• tom test // to run zef tests
• tom install // to run zef install
• tom release // to make CPAN release

So on.

Customizing

If for some reasons you need to customize installed helper scripts, just edit the ones, they are plain Perl6 code:

.tom/test.pl6:

#!perl6

task-run "check json files", "json-lint", %( path =>  "{$*CWD}" );
bash "zef test .";
bash "strun --root examples/"; # run Outthentic tests

Conclusion

Tomtit profiles minimize time required to bootstrap new project development providing you with useful helpers scripts to automate typical tasks for commonly used scenarios.
