====

A wrapper around [battleschool] to enable sharing configuration setups between

computers and/or people.

I have more than one computer that I would like to set up using battleschool.

They need different configurations but I still want to keep the configuration

in a single place. Hence, this.

You can see [my configuration] for an example of how to set things up.

[battleschool]: https://github.com/spencergibb/battleschool

[my configuration]: https://github.com/norm/bend-configuration

## Installation

    # check out the repo, then: (may need sudo)

    cp bend /usr/local/bin

## Usage

    bend [-v] [--user USER] [--host HOST] [--dir DIR] [HOST] [USER]

eg:

    # accept all defaults

    bend

    # change the hostname (default is `hostname -s`)

    bend dev_box

    bend --host dev_box

    BEND_HOST=dev_box bend

    # change the username (default is $USER)

    bend --user bob

    BEND_USER=bob bend

    # change both

    bend --user bob --host dev_box

    bend dev_box bob

    BEND_USER=bob BEND_HOST=dev_box bend

    # change the directory where config files are kept

    # (default is ~/etc/battleschool)

    bend --dir ~/.battleschool

    # list what files are used to create the final config

    bend -v

## Configuration

A normal `battleschool` configuration directory contains a file `config.yml`.

Bend will create this file for you by combining (in this order):

* `common.yml`

* `host/.yml`

* `user/.yml`

This allows you to specify the local playbooks, URLs and git repositories to

use on a global, per-host and per-user basis. Each file is optional (but at

least one must exist for this to make any sense).

If any of the following exist, they are assumed to contain extra variables

used during the `battleschool` run:

* `common.vars.yml`

* `host/.vars.yml`

* `user/.vars.yml`

## Why bend?

* it **bends** computers to your will?

* my laptop is called sinister, and I find it amusing to use the command

  `bend sinister` to set it up
