Introducing pyrcodio
- 1 min
Once upon a time there were some 13-year-old kids bored as hell surfing the internet. They found Germano Mosconi on YouTube and they started to curse God for fun. They never stopped doing it.
NB: Useful for Italian-speaking people. People speaking other languages might not understand the value of this tool.
Getting Started
I have always been fascinated by how Docker creates amazing container images name like “pedantic-ice”. After some years spent working with code and countless hours spent debating naming conventions for whatever, here is a solution: pyrcodio.
pyrcodio is a Python CLI utility that is able to generate names that might result unpleasant for people going to church, but fun for people who don’t.
If you are on macOS/Unix, all you need to do to try it out is:
pip install pyrcodio
pyrcodio
To use it while naming Git branches you can:
git checkout -b $(pyrcodio)

To use it while naming Docker containers you can:
docker run --name "$(pyrcodio)" -d your-image
If you are on Windows, well, pyrcodio…
Reference
You can find the project on GitHub
