Package: zenbu
A setup-agnostic cascading theme engine. Uses Jinja2 for templates and YAML
for variable definition.The above gif was brought to you bywzb-utils.Installationpip install zenbuor just movezenbu.pyto somewhere in your$PATH.
If you do the latter, you must install the dependencies in the
following section manually.If you are running Arch Linux, you can also use the AUR packagezenbu-git(AUR).If you are running Gentoo:layman -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azahi/ricerlay/master/overlay.xml -f -a ricerlay

A Jinja2 + YAML based config templater.

Searches for an optional yaml file with a variable mapping in
~/.config/zenbu/defaults.yaml,

an optional python file with filters in (by default)
~/.config/zenbu/filters.py,

an optional yaml file with an ignore scalar of regexes in (by default)
~/.config/zenbu/ignores.yaml,

and uses the Jinja2 templates in (by default)
~/.config/zenbu/templates/

to render into your home directory (by default).

Additional variable files can be applied
by supplying them as arguments, in order of application.

They can either be paths or, if located in (by default)
~/.config/zenbu/variable_sets/,
extension-less filenames.

Environment variable support is available;
simply run with the `-e` flag and
put the name of the variable in Jinja2 brackets.

The default Jinja2 globals and filters are available.

Order of precedence is:
last YAML variable defined >
first YAML variable defined >
environment variables.

Variables are shallowly resolved once. Thus, for example you may have the
following in your defaults.yaml for convenience:

n_primary:  "{{ colors[colors.primary].normal }}"

Autocomplete support available, but only for the default
variable set directory.

A file watcher is available via the -w flag.
Whenever a variable file in use, the filters file, the ignores file,
or a template file changes, the templates are rendered
if there are any differences. This can be overridden with a custom list of
directories via the --watch-dirs flag.

Diffs between the current destination files and
template renderings are available via the --diff flag.

of whizkers which swaps the Mustache backend out with Jinja2. I’m keeping
whizkers around for compatibility reasons. So what are the reasons for
switching?Comprehensive documentation: See theJinja2 Template Designer Documentation.Better logic: Everything from if/else to macros. I originally praised
Mustache for its logic-less philosophy, but then I realized that there would
be no place to put logic other than the variable sets, which is a nightmare.Expressions: You can now do{{ ':bold' if use_bold else '' }}. You can
even do{{colors[colors.primary]['normal']}}, which has led to the
deprecation of the{` ... `}eval syntax.Filters: You can now do{{ colors.black.bold | to_rgb }}. A lot better
than Mustache’s syntax.Better whitespace control: This means increased readability.To help ease the transition to zenbu, there are some tips under themigration wiki page.Thanks tohttps://gist.github.com/coleifer/33484bff21c34644dae1http://jinja.pocoo.org/http://pyyaml.org/fullsalvofor ideas, opinions, the readme gif, contributing to documentation,
