An action taken is 100% better than a perfect plan not executed

Written by kekePower

Although zpi and rePanel contains bugs and are not 100% where I want them to be, I think it's time to set in motion an official launch.

What is this?

zrep is a 2 part system. There is the zpi command line client that you use on your computer. Using this tool you can install and manage scripts that will enrich and enhance your command line and your day to day life based on the scripts you want and need.

Then there is the back-end, this website and its API. Anybody can register for an account and publish scripts they want to share.

Here is a screenshot using Kitty and a font with Ligatures.

zpi status

zpi can be downloaded and installed from the git repository or you can download the latest release from the Github release page.

rePanel - the Dashboard for developers

After you've registered for an account and log in you are presented with the rePanel dashboard. This is your starting point. At first glance, you'll get an overview of your account.

At the top is a list of buttons that'll take you to different parts of the rePanel dashboard and I suggest you begin with updating your profile. You can add a link to your avatar, add a homepage and write a description about yourself. This information, sans your full name, will show up on your public profile. You can see an example on my profile. I recommend you add a square avatar as it'll look better.

There are bugs and unfinished items in rePanel at the moment as I continue to develop all the functionlities I want and incorporate new and interesting features requested by you.

Information channels

I've registered 2 channels on Libera.chat. One is for users of zrep, libera.chat#zrep and the other is for developers of scripts, libera.chat#zrep-dev.

What next?

What comes next is all up to you. zrep is community driven and the more we share, the more we help each other.

zpi is always changing and getting updates, so sometimes there may be breaking changes to the script. I hope to be able to announce if or when these happen.
