Chloride

A simple abstraction layer around NetSSH.

Features:

• Host allows you to easily SSH/SCP to a host using local SSH defaults
• Actions allows you to automate your interactions on a Host
• Put it all together in order to automate your SSH-based workflows, such as
  installing Puppet.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'chloride'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install chloride

Usage

Check out the example go_execute command

$ bundle exec bin/go_execute 'abc123.example.com' 'cat /etc/hosts'

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
