GUPPI

GUPPI (or General Unit Primary Peripheral Interface) Is a semi-sentient software being that helps Replicants interact with the many systems they have at their disposal. This is an early implementation of the interface and as this is not the year 2133 in the fictional Bobverse, GUPPI is not actually semi-sentient and is only a command line utility to provide me with the information I need.

Installation

This program is a dotnet tool and requires the latest version of the .NET SDK to be installed. .NET 5.0 or newer is recommended.

Testing Locally

Build it, then package it using the Pack command in Visual Studio or dotnet pack on the command line. Until this package is published, install it using the following command line from the solution root;

dotnet tool install -g --add-source ./Guppi.Console/nupkg dotnet-guppi

To update from a previous version,

dotnet tool update -g --add-source ./Guppi.Console/nupkg dotnet-guppi

Installing from GitHub Packages

Whenever the version is updated in Guppi/Guppi.csproj, a merge to master will publish the NuGet package to GitHub Packages. You can install or update from there.

First you must update your global NuGet configuration to add the package registry and include the GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). This file is in %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.Config on Windows and in ~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config or ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config on Linux/Mac.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
    <add key="Local" value="C:\temp" />
    <add key="Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\" />
    <add key="github" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/rprouse/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
  <packageSourceCredentials>
    <github>
      <add key="Username" value="rprouse" />
      <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="GITHUB_PAT" />
    </github>
  </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>

Once that is done, to install,

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-guppi

And to update from a previous version,

dotnet tool update -g dotnet-guppi

Enabling Tab Completion

This program supports tab completion using dotnet-suggest. To enable, for each shell you must install the dotnet-suggest global tool and adding a shim to your profile. This only needs to be done once and work for all applications built using System.CommandLine.

Follow the setup instructions for your shell.
