Volume manager for abstracting code sources

.zshrc

# Add this in your .zshrc or .bash_profile or wherever you want

mount() {
  # Note that I save all my sparse images in ~/Projects/
  hdiutil attach ~/Projects/$1.dmg.sparseimage -mountpoint /Volumes/$1
}

unmount() {
  hdiutil detach /Volumes/$1
}

createSparseImage() {
  # 40g as max for sparse increment of the image. Tune it if you want more or less
  hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/Projects/$1.dmg
}

Usage:

# Create an image where we will store all work related backend source codes
createSparseImage work-backend-repos

# Mount the image on disk, use the code inside normally
mount work-backend-repos

# When you stopped using it, unmount from a finder 'eject' or like this:
unmount work-backend-repos
