Riggings

Bowline aims to be a general purpose tool while also allowing for any project specific needs. The hoist (bin/hoist) command helps to allow for many features yet keep simplicity for less involved projects. The word "hoist" is playing on the sailing term, suggesting that you would use the appropriate rigging depending on the direction you are heading.

Using Hoist

After activating, running the hoist command will output something similar to this:

Usage: hoist [rigging]
Available riggings:
behat  devtools  drupal-core-dev

So to "hoist" the behat rigging for your project you would do this:

hoist behat

Thus, you can easily install the pieces you need for your project. Each hoisting is logged in logs/rigging

Creating a Rigging

Riggings are simply a directory with a rigging_name.hoist bash script. A good example is the behat rigging (lib/rigging/behat). The behat.hoist (lib/rigging/behat/behat.hoist) script runs a composer command and copies a file to the bin directory, which may be typical processes of other possible riggings.
