DBang

DBang is a CLI to manage Deno scripts on GitHub

Vocabulary

• Catalog: A collection of scripts that is dang-catalog.json
• Script: A script that is in dang-script.json, also called artifact.
• repo_name: GitHub's repo name, eg. dbang-catalog, my-script
• repo_full_name: repo name with GitHub's account or organization name, for example linux-china/dbang-catalog

Features

• Deno versions management
• Install Apps
• Aliases & Catalogs
• Trust and Permissions
• Unstable
• Default arguments

Security strategies

• Prompt for permissions confirm on first run
• Prompt for permissions confirm after dbang-catalog.json changed, like Android app
• Trust user's scripts by dbang trust <user>
• Private repo support by DENO_AUTH_TOKENS

Web Storage Support

DBang use --config ~/.dbang/catalogs/github/linux-china/dbang-catalog.json to separate different catalogs, and it means scripts in same dbang-catalog.json would share the same storage.
