📖 Usage

Boo is super simple to use. Here are some commands to get you started:

Basic Commands

boo --setup <type>  # Run a setup wizard 🧙‍♀️

Setup Types

Boo's setup wizard offers different categories to tailor your environment:

• desktop 🖥️: Work-in-progress setups for desktop environments (e.g., Hyprland, Niri)
• cli 🐚: Select from a list of CLI tools to install interactively
• server 🖧: Set up a server with common packages (more coming soon!)
• dotfiles 📁: Pull and configure dotfiles from your git server (git.k4li.de/dotfiles)

Examples

Install some cool tools:

boo --install rip  # Install rip (rm replacement) 🗑️
boo --install yazi # Install yazi (terminal file manager) 📂
boo --install ollama # Install Ollama (AI model runner) 🤖
...

Setup Examples

Choose your setup type and let Boo guide you:

boo --setup desktop  # Select and set up a desktop environment (WIP: Hyprland, Niri, etc.) 🖥️
boo --setup cli      # Interactive list to install CLI tools 🐚
boo --setup server   # Install common server packages 🖧
boo --setup dotfiles # Configure dotfiles from git.k4li.de/dotfiles 📁

Update Details

Running boo --update does more than just updating Boo itself:

• System Update 🔧: Updates your entire system packages
• Dotfiles Update 📁: Pulls latest changes to ~/dotfiles
• Docker Compose 🐳: Checks for Docker and updates selected compose projects
• Bob Update 🤖: Checks for bob installation and updates neovim versions

Boo will guide you through each step with interactive menus! 🎮

Shell Completions

Enhance your shell experience with tab completions:

# For Bash

Add these to your shell's startup files (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) for persistent completions! 🐚
