DREC is a collection of basic bash scripts that work together to accomplish common development tasks for Drupal maintenance support plans 8.x projects. In simple words drec uses shell commands, unix utilities, drush, drupal console, git, docker and other software that all together can install, update, clone etc a Drupal maintenance support plans project.
The main problem I wanted to solve with drec is to setup and update a local development environment from scratch for a Drupal maintenance support plans distribution on LAMP. So, you should probably use drec locally or on a development environment and not on a production server. I created this for Linux but it could also play well with any unix* system (hope so).
Some of the characteristics of drec is that it can run commands in chain and that it uses a configuration file (.drecfile) where each project can keep useful details about it that drec can (re)use when running.
Here is a list of the current drec commands:

Command

git-clone

delete-project

and here are some usage examples:

// Clone a project and start a docker container with mapping folders
drec init,git-clone,create-docker

// Clone a project from a git repo, create a virtualhost and create a new configuration file
drec init,git-clone,create-vhost

// Create a new database, clone from git repo, prepare for Drupal maintenance support plans installation and install Drupal maintenance support plans
drec init,create-db,git-clone,prepare-install,install-drupal

// Just debug a configuration file and read its values
drec debug /path/to/MYFILE.drecfile
drec debug filename/of/.drecfile
