Devops Scripts

A DevOps scripting toolkit for tracking, logging, and managing development operations entries. Records timestamped entries across multiple categories and provides search, export, and reporting capabilities.

This skill uses a different command set than devops-bash-tools — it is oriented toward code quality and scripting workflows (lint, validate, format, template, diff, fix, explain).

Commands

All commands accept optional <input> arguments. Without arguments, they display the 20 most recent entries from the corresponding log. With arguments, they record a new timestamped entry.

Core Tracking Commands

Utility Commands

Data Storage

• Data directory: ~/.local/share/devops-scripts/
• Log format: Each command writes to its own .log file (e.g., check.log, lint.log)
• Entry format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<input> (pipe-delimited timestamp + value)
• History log: All actions are also appended to history.log with timestamps
• Export output: Written to export.json, export.csv, or export.txt in the data directory

Requirements

• Bash 4+ with set -euo pipefail
• Standard Unix utilities: date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat, sed, basename
• No external dependencies or package installations required

When to Use

• To track and log DevOps scripting activities with timestamps
• For recording lint results, validations, formatting changes, or template operations
• When you need to search across historical scripting activity logs
• To export tracked data to JSON, CSV, or plain text for external analysis
• For monitoring data directory health and entry statistics
• When working with code quality workflows (lint, format, fix, validate, diff)

Examples

# Record a new lint entry
devops-scripts lint "Dockerfile passed hadolint checks"

# Check recent validation entries
devops-scripts validate

# Record a template operation
devops-scripts template "generated nginx.conf from template"

# Search all logs for a keyword
devops-scripts search "nginx"

# Export all data as CSV
devops-scripts export csv

# View summary statistics
devops-scripts stats

# Show recent activity
devops-scripts recent

# Health check
devops-scripts status

Configuration

Set the DEVOPS_SCRIPTS_DIR environment variable to override the default data directory. Default: ~/.local/share/devops-scripts/

Output

All commands write results to stdout. Redirect output with devops-scripts <command> > output.txt.
