The purpose of this is to create a consistent bash experience across multiple devices that run bash; MacOS, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Windows 10 (WSL).

This was initially inspired by Mathias Bynens' dotfiles.

This is a WIP and is how I set up my systems but could be used for your systems.

$ git clone https://github.com/camalot/symmetry.git && cd symmetry && bash bootstrap.sh

Run the system application install (bundle is optional).

$ symmetry install [bundle]

Run the initialization scripts (this happens automatically when bootstrapped).

$ symmetry init

Set the prompt to one of the defined prompts (currently only default).

$ symmetry set-prompt [prompt]

Get the prompt that is currently loaded by Symmetry.

$ symmetry get-prompt

List out the available action groups, or actions in a group available for load.

$ symmetry list [action_group]

Load an action group, or a single action in a group

$ symmetry load action_group [action]

Extras are a set of scripts that you can use to configure your system for settings that you do not want checked in to source control.

Only extras/default.bash is checked in to source, everything else in this directory is ignored.

Example:

extras/git.bash

git config --global user.name "John Q. Public";
git config --global user.email "[email protected]";

Initializers run on bootstrap, and on launch of bash shell. This can be used to do initalization of symlinks or making sure that ruby environment is configured. system.*.bash, default.bash, and *.default.bash will NOT run automatically

• extras/* (expect for .default.bash) are gitignored so you can create additional scripts that may contain things you don't want to check in to git.
• system scripts can be loaded based on the envrionment (windows, macos, rasbian, etc)
• Create ~/.symmetry/initializers/.authorized_keys file and put your public keys in there that you want to have added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. (this file is git ignored)

• Get Windows environment variables (prefixed with WIN_)

$ printwinenv

• Import current Windows environment variables

$ $(winenv)
