Effortless Development Environment Setup in Rust
As my team and I prepare for upcoming computer updates -that also include formatting our computers-, one of our initial concerns is the need to reinstall all our essential tools and software.
There's always a solution to these kind of problems if you really think about it. With that being said, I've built a Rust CLI tool that streamlines the setup process for our development team, both for FE and BE engineers. It's designed with simplicity, reliability, and choice in mind. 🛠️
Here's why this tool is a game-changer:
◆ Safety & Reliability: Written in Rust, it's engineered for safety, reliability, and performance. Say goodbye to unexpected errors and glitches.
◆ Detailed Error Handling: We've covered all the edge cases and provided detailed error messages to guide you through any issues that may arise during installation.
◆ Flexibility: Whether you're a Frontend or Backend developer, the tool tailors the installation to your specific needs, ensuring you get exactly what you need without any unnecessary extras according to our teams needs.
◆ User Choice: You have the power to decide. Want to encrypt your password? You got it. The tool offers you choices, so you're in control.
◆ No Further Installations: Simply double-click the binary, and you're good to go. No additional installations, no technical debt. It just works!
◆ Building Dependencies: All necessary dependencies and tests, for all the important projects, run for you right after the tools are in place!
◆ Logging: You'll be aware of everything happening within the application, making sure all important information is being logged!
Initial Execution
Don't waste any time
We wanted a way to get back to work ASAP, with no hiccups. This internal tool ensures we can start coding right after the format is finished, saving us valuable time.
While it's an internal tool designed for our team's specific needs, I'm proud of the impact it's already making. It's a small step towards a smoother development process, and I'm excited to see how it evolves.
