trops 0.2.4

Track operations

Trops is a command-line tool for tracking Linux system operations in an easy-to-use workflow. It helps you interactively develop Ansible roles, Dockerfile, and etc.

Prerequisites

• OS: Linux

• Shell: Bash or Zsh

• Python: 3.8 or higher

• Git: 2.X

Installation

Ubuntu:

apt install python3 python3-pip git
pip3 install trops

CentOS

CentOS’s default Git and Python3 versions might be older than the prerequisites, but you can use Miniconda as shown below.

Miniconda:

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p $HOME/miniconda3
$HOME//miniconda3/bin/conda install git
$HOME/miniconda3/bin/pip install trops
mkdir $HOME/bin
cd $HOME/bin
ln -s ../miniconda3/bin/git git
ln -s ../miniconda3/bin/trops trops
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH # Add this line to your .bashrc

Quickstart

Activate trops:

export TROPS_DIR="/path/to/your/trops"
test -d $TROPS_DIR || mkdir -p $TROPS_DIR

# for Bash
eval "$(trops init bash)"
# for Zsh
eval "$(trops init zsh)"

Create a trops environment(e.g. myenv):

trops env create myenv

Turn on/off background tracking:

# Turn on
ontrops myenv

# Turn off
offtrops

If you turn it on, every command will be logged. You can check it by trops log command:

trops log
