Installing BitBar

If you have homebrew installed, you can do:

brew cask install bitbar

Otherwise grab the latest release and install it the hard way.

Open the application and choose the directory you want to be your plugins directory. This is where your menubar scripts will go. (I use ~/Library/BitBar/Plugins but you can pick any directory; just make sure it isn't one with a gazillion files as that impacts BitBar's performance).

What's Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

hrbrpkghelpr::describe_ingredients()

There are also two RStudio Addins, one with a GUI for entering in the script metadata & starting a new BitBar {bitbar} script and one for opening up the BitBar plugins directory in the Finder.

Installation

hrbrpkghelpr::install_block()

Usage

library(bitbar)

# current version
packageVersion("bitbar")

This will open up a my-awesome-bitbar-script.R in RStudio (if available) or whatever editor file.edit() is configured to use.

new_bitbar_script(
  save_as = file.path(bitbar_plugins_dir(), "my-awesome-bitbar-script.R"),
  title = ":blue_heart:",
  description = "Example BitBar Script"
)
