It provides a set of convenience functions for a growing list of commands, some of which may be used while setting up a freshly installed Linux system while others help save time while performing common tasks without the need to refer to man pages of related commands.\n\n## Supported Platforms\n\nEven though *twiner* may work on any generic Linux system, in its current state, it only contains scripts for the below platforms:\n\n- Debian/Ubuntu (and distros based on Debian and Ubuntu)\n- Fedora (and other RedHat- like platforms)\n- Arch (and Arch-based distros)\n- Void Linux (work in progress)\n\n## Obtaining\n\n*twiner* can be obtained from GitHub using `git`:\n\nIn a terminal of your choice, type:\n\n    git clone https://github.com/myTerminal/twiner.git\n\n*twiner* will be cloned at the current location.\n\n## How to use\n\nThere are three ways to use *twiner*:\n\n### 1. As an installed package\n\nTo install *twiner* as a package on your system, simply run the below at the root of the project directory:\n\n    make install\n\nYou may be asked for `root` password and *twiner* will then be available in the form of two commands.\n\nTo use *twiner*, you may run `twiner-start` from the terminal, and to update it, you may run `twiner-update`.\n\n### 2. As a standalone bash program\n\nTo use *twiner* as a bash program, run `start` at the project root.\n\n        ./start\n\nChoose a task to perform by hitting the key to the left of a menu item and follow the instructions.\n\n### 3. As a library to consume in your custom scripts\n\nTo consume *twiner* as a library, source the file `load` at the project root.\n\n        ./load\n\nThe above line sources all assets from *twiner* so that you can use them in your custom scripts.\n\n## Modes\n\nWhen used without arguments, *twiner* runs in `default` mode. However, the below two modes are also available.\n\n### Transparent (debug) mode\n\nTo be able to see the commands *twiner* runs, use the argument `debug`.\n\n    ./start debug\n\nOR\n\n    ./load debug\n\n### Simulation mode\n\nTo just see what commands would be run instead of running them, use the argument `simulate`.\n\n    ./start simulate\n\nOR\n\n    ./load simulate\n\n## Testing custom bash functions\n\nTo test (and simulate) your own bash functions, you can use `./test-bed`.\n\nEx:\n\n    ./test-bed ls -la\n\n`test-bed` will echo the scripts that would otherwise run.\n\n## To-Do\n\n- Add more commonly used setup tasks\n- Add support for Void Linux\n- Provide more options for installing a display manager\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmyterminal%2Ftwiner","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmyterminal%2Ftwiner","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmyterminal%2Ftwiner/lists"}
