Keg is CLI tool that supports a data management.

Keg use the data formatted by TOML which is language that easy to read. Keg read a TOML file from the local database and outputs its useful format. You need to clone the repository has the TOML file in the local database ($HOME/.keg/databases) in advance.

glean constructs a cache in local from a specific remote repository. In contrast, Keg mainly works with the database was constructed in local. Therefore, you need to pull manually when the repository has updated. However, it run at high speed by using the data in local.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'keg'

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install keg

Makes a TOML file:

# example.toml
name = 'example'
email = '[email protected]'

Push this TOML file to git:

$ git add example.toml
$ git commit -m 'add example'
$ git push origin master

Constructs databases:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.keg/databases
$ cd $HOME/.keg/databases 
$ git clone <your_repo> example_database

Select a database from databases in local ($HOME/.keg/databases):

$ keg switch example_database   #=> switch database `example_database`

Format and show the TOML file which is requested in the database:

$ keg show example               # show $HOME/.keg/databases/example_database/example.toml
$ keg show --format=json example # show in json format
$ keg show --format=yaml example # show in yaml format

Show the current database:

$ keg current                    #=> example_database

Format and show all TOML files in the database:

$ keg show_all                   # show all TOML file in example_database
$ keg show_all --format=json     # show all in json format
$ keg show_all --format=yaml     # show all in yaml format
