Script Conventions

Every script should:

• Have comments at top of file regarding usage (including API permission)
• Take command-line arguments. (script) -h should print usage/description
  • Use argparse for python
  • Use commons-cli for java
  • Javascript/php/powershell equivalents? — Prompt for API token (and tell you type/permission level it needs)
  • We don’t want to save the token in the file, or pass it as an arg on CLI (too easy to accidentally expose in file/bash_history)
• Use camel-cased file names (no dashes). 3-5 words. Roughly equivalent scripts in the same language should share the same name.

Tips

• For help in powershell: Get-Help .\filename.ps1
• Internationalization: Test scripts with some non-latin characters in file strings / usernames when possible. For example, python needs to call reload(sys) / sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF8') to be happy with nonlatin strings.
