A simple tool to launch multiple commands at once.
This is the default action that easylaunch performs.
easylaunch <name of workspace>
--help, -h show the help message and exit
--version show the version and exit
--list, -l list all workspaces
--edit-config open the config file in your default editor
--load-default-config replace the config file with the default config file
--launch default action is to launch a workspace.
--verbose, -v verbose output
--config specify a config file
Refer to the default config file for the example configuration. It's a pretty obvious structure.
[example]
aliases = ["ex"] # [] by default
description = "Example Workspace" # "" by default
working-directory = "$HOME" # $HOME by default
commands = [
"echo 'Hello World!'",
"echo launching an app",
"echo launching another app"
]The configuration format is TOML. Refer here GitHub : TOML.
Each section is a workspace. The section name and provided aliases will be used to refer to that workspace.
aliases - [List : str] set aliases for the workspace
description - [str] describe your worksapce
working-directory - [str] valid directory path where the shell commands will be executed.
commands - [list : str] list of commands to be executed.
note : the commands are executed in separate shells. so don't expect that cd will change the working directory for the commands below it.
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/kevqn11/easy-launch.git
cd easy-launch
python setup.py
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--workdir workdir specify the working directory
--installdir installdir
specify the installation directory where scripts will be installed
--source source specify the source directory where the source code is.
--reinstall if scripts and configs already exist, replace them.
--skip-aliases don't make aliases in the zshrc
--skip-config don't make config files
--create-symlinks create symlinks instead of copying files
By default, the installation script will add the following statement in .zshrc of the user.
alias launch='easylaunch'
to prevent this you can use the --skip-aliases option.
--reinstall can be used to update the app. but it will also replace the configuration files and create more (redundant) aliases in zshrc. use --skip-config and --skip-aliases to prevent that.
