📜 Pyr

pyr is a tool for storing and running project specific commands in the CLI and documenting those commands in an easy format that can be committed directly to a projects repo for developers to share common commands.

Scripts

pyr uses the concept of scripts stored as .yml files. Scripts are made up of options, command, message and directory tags that are used to construct the layout of the script e.g.

hello:
    message: "What language would you like to use?"
    directory: "~/Desktop"
    options:
        spanish:
            directory: "~/Desktop/Spain"
            message: "Hola mundo!"
            command: "echo Hola mundo >> spanish.txt"
        french:
            directory: "~/Desktop/French"
            message: "Bonjour le monde!"
            command: "echo Bonjour le monde! >> french.txt"
        english:
            message: "Australian or British?"
            options:
                australian:
                    directory: "~/Desktop/Australia"
                    message: "G'day world!"
                    command: "echo g'day world >> australian.txt"
                british:
                    directory: "~/Desktop/British"
                    message: "Hello world!"
                    command: "echo hello world >> british.txt"

Scripts are easy to build and follow simple rules:

1. The first tag in a script serves as the scripts name
2. options tags are used to store lists of more options or command's
3. command tags are used to store a string containing a shell command
4. message tags are used to store messages that are printed to stdout when an option or command is selected
5. directory tags are used to set where a command should be ran. When a command is ran, pyr recursively searches for the most recent directory tag to cd into

Local PYR file

Add and commit a pyr.yml to your project so developers can run pyr or pyr -D to run shared commands.
