Commands

Have a simple cheatsheet AND a quick launch by project. Installing this gem adds a commands executable displaying a menu of commands defined in ./commands.yml in the current directory.

$ gem install al-commands

Create a commands.yml file in a directory, example:

-
  desc: "Rails server"
  command: "bundle exec rails server"
  alias: "rs"
-
  desc: "Webpack dev server"
  command: "./bin/webpack-dev-server"
  alias: "ws"
-
  desc: "Some reversed ordered arguments"
  command: "echo %{arg3} %{arg2} %{arg1}"

Then typing...

$ commands

...will display a menu with a prompt:

1/ Rails server
=> bundle exec rails server
- alias: rs

2/ Webpack dev server
=> ./bin/webpack-dev-server
- alias: ws

3/ Some reversed ordered arguments
=> echo %{arg3} %{arg2} %{arg1}

Enter a number or alias followed by optional args, nothing to exit

> 

Launch command by entering its number or alias, followed by args.

You can also launch directly without displaying menu:

$ commands 2
# => ./bin/webpack-dev-server 

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
