DIRTBIKE(1)

📦 version 0.3, in ubuntu jammy

💖 DIRTBIKE(1) 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, we're doing the dirtbike manual page and it's honestly a whole vibe ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

dirtbike — literally just dirtbike, no notes 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

no cap, here's how you run it:

usage: Turn OS packages into wheels [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [--py2] package

she takes your OS packages and turns them into wheels, periodt 👑

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

  • package — the name of the package you wanna rewheel, as seen by Python (not your OS!! like, do not come in here with your distro's naming, she will not know her 💀).

✨ optional arguments ✨

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶
  • -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY — drops the new .whl file into the directory you name. if you don't say anything, the default is just the current working directory, nbd. and if DIRECTORY doesn't exist yet? she'll create it, no stress 🧚 this option overrides $DIRTBIKE_DIRECTORY, so if you set both, the flag wins, iykyk.
  • --py2 — uses the python2 site-packages directory to build the wheel. retro of her, fr fr 🌈

💜 the environment variable situation 💜

dirtbike also recognizes the environment variable $DIRTBIKE_DIRECTORY — if it's set, that's the directory she puts .whl files in. it's basically the same energy as -d/--directory, except when both show up, the command line switch takes precedence. the flag is the main character here, sorry to the env var 😭

lowkey important reminder: the package name is the one Python knows, not the one your OS is out here calling it. they are not the same, bestie, don't get it twisted 🙈

okay that's the whole page, you're basically a dirtbike expert now 💖 this was dirtbike 0.3-8, dated September 2021, and that's the version and date this little manual is serving. slay, bye bestie 🎀✨🦋
