@dimo414 asked me to share how I use bkt in real world, so here it is:
I'm a sometimes teach things (Python mostly) so I'm writing slides from times to times, in Markdown, using an extremly basic markdown to reveal tool.
Sometimes I like to write examples, but don't want to spend too much time copy-pasting the commands and their results, so I use a little sed-trick, instead of just giving my file to
mdtoreveal
like:I do use:
So every expression starting with #! will be executed in bash and replaced with their output, for example:
But today I'm writing slides about performance, so I have many commands that take seconds to run, and building my slides soon became very slow: I needed
bkt
!It's almost as simple as:
I just miss a BIG timeout, so I opened a PR to configure bkt from environment variables to be able to configure it from the
Makefile
instead of having to write--ttl
--cache-dir
and so on on each bkt invocation (which I currently do using a little bash wrapper).Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
