# rsvirt
Rsvirt is a tool focused in providing a set of shortcuts for libvirt. These shortcuts are aimed to improve our productivity and avoid dealing with tasks like:
- Create VMs based in *Copy-On-Write* disks
- Attach disks to guests
- Guest's power management
- SSH guests
```
$ ./bin/rsvirt -h
This CLI tool acts as a wrapper over libvirt.
Similar to other tools like virsh but providing some shortcuts to the
most common tasks, like creating VMs from base images or attaching
several nics to a VM at creation time

add-disk Adds a disk to a Virtual Machine
completion Generates bash completion scripts
