Thanks for submitting this, speek :)

For those that are interested in trying out babushka, here's a 30 second crash course. To install:

    bash -c "`curl -L babushka.me/up`" # If you're on a Mac
    bash -c "`wget -O - babushka.me/up`" # If you're on Ubuntu
Some good examples to start with:

    babushka rubygems # Installs, updates, or adds gem sources as required for your system
    babushka homebrew # Sets you up for sudoless `brew install`s
    babushka Cucumber.tmbundle # Clones the latest, installing / restarting TextMate as required
    babushka Chromium.app # Pulls the latest Chromium nightly to /Applications
If you want to see what will happen without making any changes, use `--dry-run`:

    babushka Transmit.app --dry-run
If you're on a Mac, you can follow along in TextMate too using `--track-blocks` — babushka points out each piece of each dep as it runs them. (This also works with `--dry-run`, so you can inspect the code a tree of deps would run.)

    mate /usr/local/babushka
    babushka 'Ruby on Rails.tmbundle' --track-blocks
Any questions, get in touch with @babushka_app on Twitter, #babushka on Freenode, or email hello@babushka.me.

Cheers — @ben_h

[edit: fixed the babushka.me/up links.]



Thanks ben_h. I did two VPS deploys with babushka just yesterday... Saved me a load of time. Keep up the good work!


bash -c "`wget -O - babushka.me/up`" # If you're on Ubuntu

Needs a closing tick before the last double quote there.

This project will no doubt save a significant amount of time. Thanks for sharing your work.


I should have copied and pasted instead of typing it out :) Thanks for the correction, fixed.
