Description

GRoot is a simplified and portable version of arch-chroot. Before it runs chroot, the script allows to mount api filesystems like /proc and makes them available from the chroot. It automatically detects how to mount special directories like /proc/, /dev, /sys, /run and /tmp.

Quickstart

groot -b /dev -b /proc -b /run -b /sys -b /tmp /new-root-dir bash

Installation

Just clone the GRoot repo somewhere (for example in ~/.local/share/groot):

git clone git://github.com/fsquillace/groot ~/.local/share/groot
export PATH=~/.local/share/groot/bin:$PATH
