dev-tools

Overview

This repository provides a pre-configured development environment, designed for use within Eclipse Che. It comes equipped with a comprehensive set of tools and configurations to support various development workflows, with a focus on Python and modern command-line utilities.

Base Image

The environment is built upon the quay.io/devfile/universal-developer-image:latest base image.

Environment Configuration

User

• Default User ID: 10001

Default Shell

• The default shell for user 10001 is Fish (fish).

PATH Configuration

The system PATH is augmented to include:

• /root/.cargo/bin: For the uv Python package manager.
• /opt/ra_aid_venv/bin: For executables from the Python virtual environment (e.g., aider, ra-aid).

Starship Prompt

• System-wide Configuration: Starship is initialized for:
  • Bash: via /etc/profile.d/starship.sh
  • Zsh: via /etc/zshrc
  • Fish: via /etc/fish/conf.d/starship.fish
• Custom Paths: To avoid issues with user home directories in containerized environments, Starship uses:
  • STARSHIP_CONFIG=/opt/starship/config/starship.toml
  • STARSHIP_CACHE=/opt/starship/cache

Usage Notes

• Accessing Python Tools: Python tools installed within the /opt/ra_aid_venv virtual environment (like aider, uv, and scripts from ra-aid) are directly accessible from the command line as their bin directory is in the PATH.
• Starship Prompt: The Starship prompt is automatically active in all configured shells (Fish, Zsh, Bash) upon starting a terminal session.
