Development CLI

Problem

As a contractor I often work on different machines: Mac, Linx and Windows. Everytime I start on a new machine I have to use different tools to perform the same tasks. It takes effort to be across all the different tools, and to setup each new machine with those tools.

Solution

This Docker image enables me to run all my faviourite preconfigured tools on any machine, whereever I am, with minimal effort. Some of the tools used:

Scan through the Dockerfile to see various libraries used
oh-my-zsh
Docker CLI support which executes against the host docker daemon

Feature	Summary	Screen Captures
Readable shell	Readable file sizes Colour coding of files depending on their executable bit Currently checked out branch in yellow, `master` shown below Modified files shown with red +
tldr	Quickly see how a command works, rather than trawling through man
z	Use `z` to easily navigate back to a previously visited directory
completion	When typing a command in greyed text shows the previous executed command	I have typed in sudo, and notice the text in grey following the prompt. This shows the last sudo command that I invoked. Use the right arrow key to fill the command out

Usage

Prerequisites

zsh is installed
Install Powerline fonts

Build

Build the docker image

$ git clone https://github.com/bootups/devcli.git
$ cd devcli/bin
$ ./build.sh

Run

$ cd devcli/bin
$ ./dsh

Run so that container port 9000 is bound to host port 80

dsh -p=80:9000

Customise

Add and remove tools to the Dockerfile
Modify the .zshrc file to add in favourite aliases and functions
