That Dev Tool

A CLI tool for improving the developer experience.

Onboarding

• Software checks to verify required software is installed
• Network checks to verify required connectivity is established
• Link directory to quickly access project-related URLs

Development

• Receive notifications on todos/work from common developer platforms (Gitlab, Pivotal Tracker)
• Receive notifications on your desktop, or on Telegram
• Open repository website using the default browser

Installation

Releases are available on Github at https://github.com/zephinzer/dev/releases.

You can also install it via go install:

go install github.com/zephinzer/dev

Test the installation works by running dev -v.

Usage

dev loads its configuration from ~/dev.yaml where ~ is your home directory. It also searches for a local ./dev.yaml in your current working directory and if found, merges it with the global configuration.

Notification integrations

Telegram

dev is able to notify you via Telegram if the integration has been set up.

Setting up Telegram notifications integration

1. Talk to The BotFather using /start if you haven't talked to it before.
2. Send the /newbot command to create a new bot. Give your bot a logical name (eg. "My Notification Bot") followed by a bot username (eg. my_notification_bot).
3. You should receive an access token of the form 1234556789:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, add the access token at the property dev.client.notifications.telegram.token.
4. Run dev init telegram notifs
5. Talk to your bot and you should see a chat ID appear in dev's logs
6. Copy and paste this chat ID to the property dev.client.notifications.telegram.id as a string (surround the ID with quotes)
7. To test the integration, ensure your chat ID is in the configuration, and run dev debug notifications and confirm you receive a notification in Telegram

Your configuration should look like:

# ... other properties ...
dev:
  # ... other properties ...
  notifications:
    telegram:
      token: 1234556789:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      id: "987654321"
