top | item 23993416 (no title) rrggrr | 5 years ago Bitbar is amazing. Its become a dashboard for my life. discuss order hn newest chance_state|5 years ago What sort of things do you display with it? wingerlang|5 years ago Not OP as well but I love BitBar. I use it as a catch-all status and action menu at work. Here’s what I have:- Display current git branch, useful for quickly looking up the task and task ID when I need to write it somewhere.- Poll develop branch, parse and display the current sub module commit. Again for quick lookup when I need to reset that repo.- A list of PRs and their status and ID (just open the menu to see the ID so I can easily find the relevant build in eg CI)- A couple of bookmarks for usual websites to open- A couple of bash scripts to delete certain folders- A couple of shortcuts to open specific folders (eg snapshot folder)- A simple HTTP status of a website I manage (it tended to break often, now I see if it is down within a minute)Basically anything I do on a semi regular basis is literally one click away. I cannot recommend this tool enough. danappelxx|5 years ago Not parent, but I have bitbar menus for ssh’ing to digitalocean boxes, connecting to corporate vpn, and displaying uptime information from uptimerobot.
