💖 bitesize(1) — the general commands manual glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, you're looking at bitesize, a lil tool from the ubuntu-dev-tools fam, and it's about to be your new fave. here's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bitesize — adds a bitesize tag to bugs and drops a comment. that's it, that's the job. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bitesize <bug number>
bitesize --help

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: bitesize slaps a bitesize tag on the bug — but only if it's not already there, no double-tagging here, we're not messy. 💅

it also leaves a comment on the bug saying you're willing to help fix it. main character energy, honestly. 🫶

and because it's polite, it checks whether you have permission to operate on that given bug first, and then it does the required tasks on Launchpad. consent first, always. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

listed below are the command line options for bitesize — read them, love them:

  • -h, --help — displays a help message and exits. iconic behaviour. ✨
  • -l INSTANCE, --lpinstance=INSTANCE — uses the Launchpad instance you specify (like "staging") instead of the default, which is "production". pick your arena bestie 🎀
  • --no-conf — do not read any configuration files, or configuration from environment variables. full minimal mode, no extra input, we're going rogue. 💀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

plot twist: every single one of the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES below is also supported as an environment variable. and heads up — variables in the environment take precedence to those in configuration files. env stays winning. 👑

🧚 CONFIGURATION VARIABLES 🧚

the following variables can be set in the environment or in ubuntu-dev-tools(5) configuration files. and in each case, the script-specific variable takes precedence over the package-wide variable. hierarchy, but make it cute. 💜

  • BITESIZE_LPINSTANCE, UBUNTUTOOLS_LPINSTANCE — the default value for --lpinstance.
