my-xonsh-fork 0.0.3

Convert your xonsh fork package name to the new.

my-xonsh-fork is to convert your xonsh fork package name to the new
i.e. xonsh becomes xonsh42 and you can run it, add it to shebang or import in python.

How it works

1. You have your own fork of original xonsh repository.
2. You want to install it on your host. But you don't want to lose the original xonsh on your host. You don't want to rename xonsh package in your fork code to have an ability to pull the changes from the original xonsh repository without conflicts.
3. When you run my-xonsh-fork it make a clone of the source git repo and replaces xonsh directory, calls, paths with the xonsh{FORK_NAME} i.e. xonsh2.
4. Then you can install this package using pip.
5. As result you'll have xonsh on the host along with xonsh2. You can use both xonsh and xonsh2 in the sheband of your scripts i.e. #!/usr/bin/env xonsh2.
6. Enjoy! :)

Install

pip install my-xonsh-fork

Usage

usage: my-xonsh-fork [-h] -n FORK_NAME -s SOURCE_REPO [-t TARGET_REPO] -d TARGET_DIR [-f]

Convert your xonsh fork package name to the new.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n FORK_NAME, --fork-name FORK_NAME
                        Fork name i.e. `-n 2` will create `xonsh2` fork.
  -s SOURCE_REPO, --source-repo SOURCE_REPO
                        Source repo i.e. [e-mail]:anki-code/xonsh-xep-2.git
  -t TARGET_REPO, --target-repo TARGET_REPO
                        Target empty repo to push the result i.e. [e-mail]:anki-code/xonsh2.git
  -d TARGET_DIR, --target-dir TARGET_DIR
                        Target dir i.e. /tmp/xonsh2
  -f, --force-rebuild   Remove XONSH_TARGET_DIR and rebuild from scratch.

Example

For example you want to have two packages: xonsh with original xonsh and xonsh2 - your fork of original xonsh.

To achieve this here is the example based on XEP-2 fork:

my-xonsh-fork -n 2 -s [e-mail]:anki-code/xonsh-xep-2.git -d /tmp/xonsh2 -f
pip install -U /tmp/xonsh2
xonsh2 --no-rc

If you want to push the renamed fork to new repo use --target-repo argument.

.xonshrc, rc.xsh and xontrib

If your fork has name 2 (i.e. my-xonsh-fork -n 2 ...) then the new names of RC files and xontrib command will be: .xonshrc_2, rc_2.xsh and xontrib2.
