💖 lp-bitesize — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to lp-bitesize(1), a lil' tool from the General Commands Manual family. it's here to tag bugs as bitesize and drop a comment, and honestly? iconic behavior. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

lp-bitesize — add the bitesize tag to bugs and also leave a comment. two things. at once. she's efficient like that. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lp-bitesize <bug number>
lp-bitesize --help

like. you give her a bug number, or you ask for help. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so lp-bitesize goes and adds a bitesize tag to the bug — but ONLY if it's not already there, because she's not about to be redundant, no ma'am. 🙈

then she also adds a comment to the bug saying you're willing to help fix it. main character energy: you, showing up, offering your services. ✨

and before any of that? she checks whether you even have permission to operate on that bug. permission first, tasks second, that's the order. then she does the required stuff on Launchpad. no cap. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the full lineup of command line options for lp-bitesize, bestie. every single one, i would never gatekeep:

  • -h, --help — shows you a help message, then exits. your lil' safety net. 🫶
  • -l INSTANCE, --lpinstance=INSTANCE — use a specific instance of Launchpad (like "staging") instead of the default, which is "production". sometimes you wanna rehearse before the real show, yk? 💃
  • --no-conf — do NOT read any configuration files, and do NOT read configuration from environment variables. full radio silence. 💀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

every single one of the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES listed below also works as an environment variable. and here's the tea: variables in the environment take precedence over the ones in configuration files. environment wins, always. periodt. 👑

⭐ CONFIGURATION VARIABLES ⭐

you can set these in the environment, or in the ubuntu-dev-tools(5) configuration files. and in each case, the script-specific variable beats the package-wide variable — little sibling takes the crown. 👑

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