Varfile

Varfile is a little executable to write and read variables from a text file. It's job is trivial, but the little automation becomes very handy when dealing distributed environments. Varfile is suitable to be used as a tool for configuration of remote servers when used in conjunction with other automation tools like capistrano.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'varfile'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install varfile

Usage

Set a value for a key:

$ varfile set FOO bar --file=/u/app/shared/config/.env

Get the value of a key:

$ varfile get FOO --file=/u/app/shared/config/.env
bar

List all keys and values: 

$ varfile list --file=/u/app/shared/config/.env
FOO=bar

Remove a key: 

$ varfile rm FOO --file=/u/app/shared/config/.env

If --file option is missing, variables will be written to a file named Varfile.
