Use your same "aliases" for all your projects

Features

• Simple to use TOML config file
• Works if you are inside a child directory
• Global config file
• Specify multiple commands at once to execute.
• Add paramaters to aliases (See example below)

Options

• -f: Specify which config file to use
• -d: Debug flag. Print out the command to execute
• -n: Do not execute the command. Use in combination with -d

Subcommands

• add: Add a new alias
• update: Update a alias
• delete: Delete a alias
• list: Lists all the aliases for current dir. Optionally specify a name to see the command of that alias
• edit: Edit the config file for current dir. If -f is provided, it will edit that instead. Uses your $EDITOR variable, please set it before you run this command

Configuration

Each project can have its own .d.toml file.

["/rust/project"]
f = "cargo fmt"
r = "cargo run"
b = "cargo build"


["/node/project"]
f = "npm run format"
r = "npm run dev"
b = "npm run build"

See how in the above example, the aliases work for both /rust/project and /node/project. Path can also be relative.

NOTE: Each path and command needs to be inside ""

dipse will traverse up the directory structure to find a .d.toml file. If none is found, it will create a config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dipse/

Example

CRUD operation

# Add
dipse add "alias name" "command to execute"

# List specific
dipse list "alias name"

# List all
dipse list 

dipse update "alias name" "command to execute"

dipse delete "alias name"

Running multiple commands

You can execute multiple aliases at once like this:

dipse alias1 alias2 alias3 alias4

Each alias will be executed after the previous one is finished.

Arguments / Parameters

Seperate the arguments from the alias name like this:

dipse alias_name -- --option-you-want "param1"

In case you wish to run multiple aliases at the same time, dipse will apply the arguments to the last alias only.

dipse alias1 alias2 -- "a" In this case, "a" is passed only to alias2, alias1 is executed without any changes.
