cf shell helper

[Daniel Mikusa]

Thought I'd share a little helper script that I've been using lately, in case someone else might find it helpful too.  

I often find myself switching between CF installations and wanted an easy way to do it, so I put together this shell function.

  https://gist.github.com/dmikusa-pivotal/adf36c6fcc5c5b97bdc8

Installation is easy, just add it to ~/.profile or save the file and source it.

Usage is like this...

- Run with no arguments to list the current and available environments.

- Run with one argument, to switch to that environment.  If the environment doesn't exist, it'll be initialized when you run cf for the first time.

Behind the scenes is nothing earth shattering, it's just adjusting the CF_HOME environment variable using the pattern "$HOME/.cf-<env-name>".  

Clean up is easy.  You can delete environments by simply deleting the "$HOME/.cf-<env-name>" folder.

This is fantastic and the thing what I need. It took too much time to switch among multiple cf endpoints,  also very hard to memorize all those urls, accounts, passwords.

Thanks,

Tao

daniel, this is very very useful! thanks for sharing this. i'll make sure david lee sees this as i can easily see wanting to incorporate something like this into the CLI itself.

Incorporating environment switching/management into the CLI would be a welcome addition!
