yage 76a746a53e v3.0.0 "The Great Overhaul"
=====================================================================

Notice the major version change which comes with breaking changes to
2.x! Reconstructs "library" functions for both python and zsh scwrypts,
with changes to virtualenv naming conventions (you'll need to refresh
all virtualenv with the appropriate scwrypt).

--- Changes ------------------------------

- changed a naming convention across zsh scripts, particularly
  removing underscores where there is no need to avoid naming clash
  (e.g. 'zsh/lib/utils/io.zsh' renames '__STATUS' to 'STATUS')

- moved clients reliant on py.lib.http to the py.lib.http module

- python scripts now rely on py.lib.scwrypts.execute

- updated package.json in zx scripts to include `type = module`

- 'scwrypts --list' commandline argument now includes additional
  relevant data for each scwrypt

- environment variables no longer add themselves to be staged in the
  '.env.template'

--- New Features -------------------------

- new 'use' syntax for disjoint import within zsh scripts; took me
  a very long time to convince myself this would be necessary

- introduced scwrypt "groups" to allow portable module creation;
  (i.e. ability add your own scripts from another repo!)

- py.lib.scwrypts.io provides a combined IO stream for quick, hybrid
  use of input/output files and stdin/stdout

- py.lib.fzf provides a wrapper to provide similar functionality to
  zsh/utils/io.zsh including fzf_(head|tail)

- improved efficiency of various scwrypts; notably reducing runtime
  of scwrypts/environment sync

- improved scwrypts CLI by adding new options for exact scwrypt
  matching, better filtering, and prettier/more-detailed interfaces

--- New Scripts --------------------------

- py/twilio )
    basic SMS integration with twilio
     - send-sms

- py/directus )
    interactive directus GET query
     - get-items

- py/discord )
    post message to discord channel or webhook
     - post-message

# Meta Scwrypts
The fastest way to configure scwrypts is through scwrypts!
The ZSH scripts in this library are used to manage Scwrypts artifacts.
## Configure
**Great for first-time setup!**
It is simple to edit the local dot-config and restart your terminal.
It is much faster to hit `CTRL+W` and select `config/edit` through a fuzzy search.
This will immediately open your custom configuration file and reload any necessary resources on save.
## Environment
If you use Scwrypts, **you should use these commands all the time**.
This is your gateway to managing scwrypts sandboxed environments.
Command | Description
----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`edit` | edit an existing environment
`copy` | create and edit a new environment from an existing one
`delete` | permanently delete an environment by name
`stage-variables` | stage missing variables; [helpful for non-ZSH scwrypts](../../py/scwrypts/getenv.py)
`synchronize` | uses [template](../../.env.template) to add missing and remove extemporaneous variables
### Environment Inheritance
You can make a child environment by naming an environment `<parent-name>.<child-name>`.
Children inherit all parent-set values, and **parent-set values overwrite child-set values**.
Remember that synchronize runs *every time you edit an environment*, so changes propagate to children immediately.
Inherited values are denoted by `# from <parent-name>` in the environment file.
Nested children will inherit values from all parents.
### Special Environment Variable Syntax
All environment variables which end in `__[a-z_]+` are ignored by the template file.
These environment variables *will propagate to children*, but will not be removed nor staged into the `.env.template`.
#### `__select` Environment Variables
Omit any variable, but provide a comma-separated list with the `__select` suffix, and the user will be prompted to select a value from the provided options.
In the following configuration, the user will be prompted to select an `AWS_REGION` once at the beginning of scwrypt execution:
```zsh
export AWS_REGION=
export AWS_REGION__select=us-east-1,us-east-2,us-west-1,us-west-2
```
Setting the `AWS_REGION` variable will cause scwrypts to ignore the `__select` syntax.
CI will fail on select, because CI fails on any FZF prompt.
#### `__override` Environment Variables
Override any variable with the indicated value.
This will take precedence over existing values *and* any other special environment variable types.
Examples of use:
- temporarily changing a single value in your current session (e.g. `export VARIABLE__override=value`)
- overriding a variable for a one-time command (e.g. `VARIABLE__override=value scwrypts ...`)
## Logs
Quickly view or clear Scwrypts logs.
## Virtualenv
In addition to the custom environment sandbox, scwrypts will load the appropriate virtual environment for the current script.
Update / create the environment with `update-all`.
Drop and recreate the environment with `refresh`.
