Install a script
- By default, scripts will be installed to
~/.local/bin
- If
$BABASHKA_BBIN_BIN_DIR
is set, then use$BABASHKA_BBIN_BIN_DIR
(explicit override)
- If
- Each bin script is a self-contained shell script that fetches deps and invokes
bb
with the correct arguments. - The bin scripts can be configured using the CLI options or the
:bbin/bin
key inbb.edn
- See the FAQ for additional info on setting up your code to work with bbin
Example bb.edn
Config:
{:bbin/bin {neil {:main-opts ["-f" "neil"]}}}
Supported Options:
Note: bbin
will throw an error if conflicting options are provided, such as using both --git/sha
and --mvn/version
at the same time.
If no --git/tag
or --git/sha
is provided, the latest tag from the Git repo will be used. If no tags exist, the latest SHA will be used.
--as
- The name of the script to be saved in the
bbin bin
path
- The name of the script to be saved in the
--git/sha
- The SHA for a Git repo
--git/tag
- The tag for a Git repo
--git/url
- The URL for a Git repo
--latest-sha
- If provided, find the latest SHA from the Git repo
--local/root
- The path of a local directory containing a
deps.edn
file
- The path of a local directory containing a
--main-opts
- The provided options (EDN format) will be passed to the
bb
command-line when the installed script is run - By default,
--main-opts
will be set to["-m" ...]
, inferring the main function from the lib name - For example, if you provide a lib name like
io.github.rads/watch
,bbin
will inferrads.watch/-main
- Project authors can provide a default in the
:bbin/bin
key inbb.edn
- The provided options (EDN format) will be passed to the
--mvn/version
- The version of a Maven dependency
--ns-default
- The namespace to use to find functions (tool mode only)
- Project authors can provide a default in the
:bbin/bin
key inbb.edn
--tool
- If this option is provided, the script will be installed using tool mode
- When enabled, the installed script acts as an entry point for functions in a namespace, similar to
clj -T
- If no function is provided, the installed script will infer a help message based on the function docstrings

Migrate from bbin v0.1.x
-To install a development version of bbin, first install bbin stable, then install bbin with bbin.
$ bbin install . --as bbin-dev --main-opts '["-m" babashka.bbin.cli/-main]'
You can now run your development copy of bbin with bbin-dev
.
Rebuilding is not required for bbin-dev
installed this way, changes in Clojure source code is reflected instantly.
