bee is an open source platform aimed to simplify and standardize automation and deployment. bee lets you automate every aspect of your development and release workflow. bee runs everywhere - "it's just bash"
Automate the entire process from building your app to uploading it to the app stores
Combine bee with continuous integration tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Travis CI or TeamCity to automatically build and distribute your applications.
bee is a bash package manager that runs plugins. Plugins are registered at beehub which is the official bee plugin register: https://github.com/sschmid/beehub
You can register your own plugin at beehub by creating a pull request. You can also create your own custom hubs or local plugins for your personal or private use.
Plugins allow you to customize and personalize bee to fit any requirement. Are you missing a task or feature? Create your own plugins and contribute to beehub! Share your plugins with the bee community so everyone can start saving time today.
Plugins and commands can easily be discovered with bee's built-in auto-completion! (see bee-completion)
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sschmid/bee/main/install)"
bee automatically completes plugins and makes working with them fun and easy.
Add auto-completion support for bee
echo "complete -C bee bee" >> ~/.bashrc
If you use zsh add those lines to your ~/.zshrc
autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
complete -C bee bee
bee update
bee is very flexible and can be customized heavily.
See bee and
bee-run.bash
and overwrite default values in ~/.beerc
