garden VS wsl-ssh-pageant

https://github.com/davvid/garden

Project Description: Garden is a git multi-repo powertool. Garden lets you define custom workflows over arbitrary collections of git trees.

If you find yourself running bespoke commands across a smattering of git repositories then Garden can be a big improvement over a big pile o' scripts and repos.

What do you want to be tested: Test the documented feature-set and new-user onboarding experience. Give feedback on its usefulness as a development/testing aid.

If you're into this kinda thing then then you might be interested in my take on improving over a "big pile o scripts" (and repos).

Garden is a multi-repo powertool for running custom commands and mashing random shell scripts and loosely-coupled repos into a version-controllable config file. If you're weird like me you might like it.

I ended up with so many random git repos, shell scripts and other miscellany that I ended up writing a tool to manage that stuff using a yaml file so that it's easy to transport and recreate my setup anywhere.

"garden" is kinda like a mashup of the flexibility/power of shell scripts with the convenience of being able to declare your development environment.

I was kinda surprised when someone submitted the first issue =)

git-cola was pretty much written for my own personal use, but it grew a few more users as well.

I have written these sorts of things, but I do try and put them up on GitHub if I think they’ll be useful to other people. I wrote a tool unimaginatively named wsl-ssh-pageant [0] which I wanted because I use a YubiKey for my SSH key but wanted it to be available in WSL. It has been by far my most popular GitHub project.

I do have other things as well, some on GitHub some not. A scraper to notify me when a local gym booking website changes for a time I’m interested in. A bridge between a BroadLink RM4 and HomeKit for some fans [1] - I wanted to avoid home-assistant. A script to grab my power consumption data. A shim to make gpg-agent compatible with launchd’s socket activation protocol [2].

I don't need to pass a path to the gpg socket to wsl-ssh-pageant. I just pass it the UNC path for the socket I want it to open.

In the past I also used https://github.com/benpye/wsl-ssh-pageant to go from WSL to Pageant (which I believe KeeAgent is also compatible with)
