Releasing Upset
I've been struggling with my work laptop which meant that I had to reinstall everything a couple of times. So, offcourse I wrote an application to automate this process.
Introduction
In the last couple of weeks I’ve had a bit of a rough patch with my work laptop. Which lead me to installing it over and over again.
The last time I had to get my laptop fixed by reinstalling Windows, I had this idea of creating an application which would do all the setup for me. But since it’s a Windows laptop that would lead to me having to write a Powershell script. Well, me being me, I didn’t really like that idea and I wanted to experiment in Rust a little bit anyway. So I decided to create a Rust CLI application which would set up any computer using a yaml-configuration file.
And the name, as you might have guessed, is Upset. The reason behind this name is pretty clear, I was really upset with having to install my computer again (for the second time that day), and it’s an anagram for set up which I find pretty funny.
Roadmap
We’ll Upset isn’t quite finished yet, there are still some features I’d like to implement in the upcoming future.
- Add an extra required option to validate the required commands
- In such a way, that if you configure Git as your VCS, it won’t clone anything because it knows Git is not installed
- A method to copy files
- Set up an automatic pipeline to build an executable for each platform
Contribute
If you’re an open source fanatic as well, and love to dig a little into Rust I’d like to invite you to contribte to Upset. This can either be trough code-reviews, adding a feature you’d like or even just submitting issues you’ve noticed.
