About

This is a personal project containing everything I use on a daily basis and how I set up my machine. It has aliases, functions, CLI, workspace configuration, applications' settings, docker images, and more.

CLI

This is the core of Sphynx. The command-line interface is used to automate boring/repetitive tasks and helps me manage the other parts of this project.

e.g.

$ sx docker logs
$ sx android device --connect
$ sx system clear-trash

Most commands use the fuzzy finder to provide a better experience with an interactive menu + fuzzy searching.

If you want to give the CLI a try, you can use Homebrew or Linuxbrew to install it.

brew install hpedrorodrigues/tools/sphynx

Dotfiles

All dotfiles are inside the dotfiles module. It has common aliases, functions, and configuration files that I use daily.

External tools

External tools are tools that you don't want to install on your machine but you'd like to use them.

They are basically shell functions calling Docker behind the scenes, but not all functions use the dockerfiles available in this project (e.g. Kafka).

Workspace configuration

I use Ansible to configure my machine. It automates tedious tasks installing packages and applications that I use almost daily.
