bespoke-cli: A Go repository from Delusoire

Setup

Note: On Windows, only use pwsh as shell! (not cmd, not powershell)

Part 1: Installation

For Users:

Either pick the latest installer for your platform from the releases or run the install.ps1 script

For Developers:

First and foremost install the build dependencies: Git and Go
Clone this repo: git clone github.com/Delusoire/bespoke-cli && cd cli
Run go build, this will create a new spicetify executable in the working directory
This executable assumes a portable setup if the following structure is respected:
```
<folder>/
├─ bin/
│  ├─ spicetify[.exe]
├─ config/
```
the name (and location) of the first folder doesn't matter

[optional] Add the <path/to/folder>/bin path to your PATH environment variable for ease of access.

On Windows, run the following in pwsh:

$user = [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User
$path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $user)
$path = "$path;$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Spicetify\bin"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $path, $user)

On a default macOS installation, run the following:

echo "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Spicetify/bin" >> /etc/paths

On other platforms, you can perform a simple search on how to set the PATH environment variable

Run <path/to/folder>/bin/spicetify init to initialize the Spicetify setup, It should create the following entries:
```
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/
├─ (S|s)picetify/
│  ├─ modules/
│  │  ├─ vault.json
│  ├─ config.yaml
```
or if ran in a portable structure:
```
<folder>/
├─ bin/
│  ├─ spicetify[.exe]
├─ config/
│  ├─ modules/
│  │  ├─ vault.json
│  ├─ config.yaml
```
This only needs to be done once. If the command fails, try running it in an elevated shell (as Administrator)

// TODO: register uri scheme and daemon/task.

Part 2: Patching

Run spicetify sync to download and install the latest hooks
Run spicetify apply to patch the Spotify desktop client, this needs only be done when using spicetify for the first time or when the Spotify client updates (and reverts all the patches).

You can always revert spicetify apply by running spicetify fix.

Part 3: Managing modules

Caveats

If your Spotify installation is somewhat unusual, you must manually specify the paths to the Spotify data and Spotify config folders. You can do that by creating a config.yaml file and adding a spotify-data-path: path/to/spotify/data/ (and optionally a spotify-config-path: path/to/spotify/config/ for more advanced dev workflows) Furthermore, if the Spotify folder is Frozen (like the Microsoft Store version of Spotify), you must tell spicetify to use mirror mode.

For the Microsoft Store version of Spotify, this would be enough:

$configPath = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Spicetify\config.yaml"
$spotifyPackage = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object -Property Name -Eq "SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic"
"mirror: true" >> $configPath
"spotify-data-path: $($spotifyPackage.InstallLocation)" >> $configPath
"spotify-exec-path: $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Spotify.exe" >> $configPath
"spotify-config-path: $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\$($spotifyPackage.PackageFamilyName)\LocalState\Spotify\" >> $configPath
