Wick - Bash IT Configuration Automation about awesome-shell

[alebcay]

Sorry I haven't been able to get around to this in the past few days. Here are my thoughts:

• I don't have much experience with Vagrant/Ansible, and once tried setting up Puppet, but decided it was way too complicated, and I don't provision machines often, but seeing shell scripts instead of config files with Wick is a happy change. Modularity is probably a good idea from the start - have an extension framework so that people can also add their own modules at some point, perhaps. I'm planning to add Wick a bit later after it matures a bit.
• I don't use much templating in my scripting work at all, so personally, I wouldn't find mo very useful, but I'll definitely add it because I can think of situations where it would be helpful.
• ansi is by far the most useful of the three tools you mentioned (to me, at least). Looking up escape codes is a pain!

I'll get around to adding changes in the next day or two.

No worries about the timing - this is obviously not even remotely urgent. Also, I am sorry; i thought this was more of a public or shared list than your own personal bash bookmarks.

I agree with all of your comments. Thanks for considering the addition of links!

Oh, it's not personal at all. But I'm not exactly qualified to speak on behalf of everyone out there. Still, the tools fill a niche that seems to be vacant currently.
