💖 dpt-shell-lib — shell integration of dpt(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the dpt-shell-lib page from the Debian Perl packaging Tools manual (section 1, yes she's a real one, and she's iconic). this is the little glue that makes your shell actually understand what dpt is going on about. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

drop this into the interactive configuration script of your shell, okay? like where you keep your shell config:

dpt shell-lib

and that's it. that's the whole vibe. periodt 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so dpt shell-lib prints out a shell command. that's the move. and the thing it prints out loads some goodies when you're working with packages from the Debian Perl Group. goodies!! for you!! free of charge 💖

and rn, as of this exact moment, "currently" — so like, present tense, don't come for me if that changes — what it's printing is just a wrapper function for the dpt(1) command. what does that wrapper do, you ask? so glad you asked bestie. it captures the output of the dpt-checkout(1) and dpt-cd(1) commands, and then it changes the current directory to the checkout. so you don't gotta cd yourself. she did that for you. main character energy fr fr 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

None.

...yeah that's it. no options. nothing. zero. the girl has no flags. ngl it's giving minimal and honestly? we respect it. no options, no problems 💀
