Resources and Providers

bashrc

The bashrc resource manages the installation of the bashrc profile for all users on the system when the root user is provided or can install it on a per-user basis.

The system-wide installation puts the profile under /etc/bash and the per-user installation puts the profile under the user's $HOME directory in .bash.

The :install action installs the profile, which is the default (and only) action.

Example

bashrc "system-wide installation" do
  user "root"
  action :install
end

# short form of above example
bashrc "root"

bashrc "install only for jdoe user" do
  user "jdoe"
  action :install
end

# short form of above example
bashrc "jdoe"

Note that for per-user installations, the user must already exist with their home directory created and appropriate permissions assigned (i.e. the user must be able to write in their own home directory).

Attributes

• user - The user that the profile will be installed under. If "root" is provided, a system-wide installation will be performed, setting up under /etc/bash. Defaults to the resource name.

Actions

• :install - Downloads, extracts, and initializes the profile for the given user.

Development

• Source hosted at GitHub
• Report issues/Questions/Feature requests on GitHub Issues

Ideally create a topic branch for every seperate change you make.
