Pre-built binaries are available to download from Jenkins (for all supported architectures).
(For building bashbrew yourself, it's a pretty standard Go application.)
Docker version 1.10 or above is required for use of Bashbrew.
In general, bashbrew build some-repo or bashbrew build ./some-file should be sufficient for using the tool at a surface level, especially for testing. For more complex usage, please see the built-in help (bashbrew --help, bashbrew build --help, etc).
The default "flags" configuration is in ~/.config/bashbrew/flags, but the base path can be overridden with --config or BASHBREW_CONFIG (technically, the full path to the default flags configuration file is ${BASHBREW_CONFIG:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bashbrew}/flags).
To set a default namespace for specific commands only:
Commands: tag, push
Namespace: officialstaging
To set a default namespace for all commands:
Namespace: jsmith
A more complex example:
# comments are allowed anywhere (and are ignored)
Library: /mnt/docker/official-images/library
Cache: /mnt/docker/bashbrew-cache
Constraints: aufs, docker-1.9, tianon
ExclusiveConstraints: true
# namespace just "tag" and "push" (not "build")
Commands: tag, push
Namespace: tianon
Commands: list
ApplyConstraints: true
Commands: tag
Debug: true
In this example, bashbrew tag will get both Namespace and Debug applied (options are additive).
