Enhancement: Implement a Command-Line Interface (CLI) for Managing Electron Fuses
Currently, Electron Fuses are managed programmatically using the flipFuses function from the @electron/fuses package. While this approach is effective, introducing a CLI tool could simplify fuse management, especially for developers who prefer command-line operations or wish to integrate fuse configuration into existing shell scripts and build pipelines.
Proposed Features:
-
Fuse Reading: Retrieve and display the current status of all fuses in a specified Electron binary.
-
Fuse Writing: Enable or disable specific fuses through straightforward CLI commands.
-
Configuration from File: Apply fuse settings from a configuration file, facilitating consistent setups across different environments and projects.
-
Integration with Build Tools: Ensure compatibility with popular build tools to allow seamless incorporation into automated build processes.
Benefits:
User-Friendly: Provides an alternative to programmatic fuse management, catering to a broader range of developer preferences.
Automation: Simplifies the integration of fuse configuration into CI/CD pipelines and other automated workflows.
Consistency: Using configuration files ensures uniform fuse settings across various development and production environments.
Considerations:
Documentation: Comprehensive guides and examples would be necessary to help users adopt the CLI tool effectively.
Testing: Robust testing is essential to ensure the CLI operates correctly across different platforms and Electron versions.
Implementing a CLI for Electron Fuses could enhance the developer experience by providing more flexibility and control over fuse management. This addition would complement the existing programmatic methods, offering a versatile toolkit for Electron developers.
