Installation

If you don't already have Bob on your system, you can bootstrap him as such:

sh bootstrap.sh

Then, you can install him to your system with:

.bootstrap/bob install

Usage

Building

Bob always loves to give a helping hand! 🤝

To build a project with Bob, navigate to its root directory and run:

bob build

Running

Bob's favourite pastime is running! 🏃

To run a project with Bob, run:

bob run

Alternatively, you can enter the temporary installation prefix environment with:

bob sh

This will use the value stored in the $SHELL environment variable to launch a shell inside of that prefix, similar to a Python virtual environment. You can also just run any command you want by passing it to bob sh, like so:

bob sh echo test
bob sh -- sh -c "echo \$PATH"

The second command will print out the value of the $PATH environment variable, and it should be prepended by the bin directory of the temporary installation prefix.

Installing

Bob always helps his grandma install Linux Mint on her computer! 👵

To install a project with Bob, run:

bob install

Cleaning

If for whatever reason you need to clean up Bob's mess, you can run:

bob clean

In practice, this is just a safer way to run rm -rf .bob.

Testing

To run the Bob tests, simply run:

sh tests.sh
