support-firecloud

support-firecloud is software and configuration that supports various cycles of software development, through a canonical set of commands.

This was conceived within TobiiPro's Cloud Services.

git clone this repository and you will gain access to:

a bootstrap process of a developer machine based around GNU and Homebrew
- cross-platform. No more worries about this is how it works on a developer machine (e.g. MacOS/Windows) and this is how it works in the CI (Linux). Everything works the same everywhere!
  - Apple MacOS
  - Linux (Alpine)
  - Linux (Debian)
  - Linux (Ubuntu)
  - Microsoft Windows (WSL)
  - potentially more if you request/contribute it
- brings common GNU utilities (bash, make, grep, sed, find, etc), version locked. No more worries about different flags, different behaviour or missing features!
- brings Homebrew. No more worries about different versions available in distros' repositositories, or libraries/utilities not being available at all.
sane per-user configuration (e.g. git)
various utility scripts, most of them written in pure bash making them easy to read through, easy to run
documentation of common tasks like bootstrapping, create github repositories, managing secrets, etc

Import this repository as a submodule, and you will gain access to:

a bootstrap process of a CI machine based around GNU and Homebrew
- cross-provider. No more worries about the effort to add another CI or to switch to another CI. Everything works the same everywhere!

    - Integration with Travis CI is unstable since it now requires a subscription.
    - The new pricing model for travis-ci.com
    - Travis CI's new pricing plan threw a wrench in my open source works
    - Travis CI is no longer providing CI minutes for open source projects
- cross-platform. See above.
