xcopen

This simple and functional 'Shell' script helps you in the fastest way open your favorite project in the Xcode app.
The main idea of it is entering a simple one command in the terminal for magic.

Feature list:

• Opening a project with one simple command in a terminal
• There is no need to always go into the project folder
• Keeps your favorite path to a project until you change or remove it
• Sets all necessary data for script automatically (env property and alias to .zshrc file)
• Highlights tips during the running of a script
• Supports multiple useful script options
• Maintenances a deleting of all script data simply with one command

Installation:

1. Download this repo.
2. In the terminal change the directory on a script folder.
3. Set a permission (eg. % chmod 500 xcopen).
4. The first launch must be performed in the current shell environment with the (.) command
   (eg. % . ./xcopen OR % source ./xcopen).
5. Choose 2nd option in the main menu of script.
6. Set a path with a project. Just enter it or find the project folder and use your mouse to move it to the terminal.
7. Magic.

Usage:

All subsequent launches might be performed with a short global alias.
Wherever you are in the terminal - just run a script with % xcopen.

If you are running a script without any options you will get the main menu of a script.

Besides, a script supports 6 options.

Use % xcopen -h to display the help menu where you will find all options with their meaning.

To open a project in the fastest way just enter % xcopen -1 (this option works only in case you set a path for a project).

Also, a script sets an alias and a path you specified behind a script (automatically).
All that is required from you is to set a path of a project via the 2nd option in the main menu of a script or with % xcopen -2.

You might check all actual script data with such options as -a for alias, -e for env:
% xcopen -a, % xcopen -e OR combine them % xcopen -ae.

In case you would like to delete a script from your Mac - use -d option before.
(It implies that all script data will be removed from a .zshrc file.)
% xcopen -d.

Caution

(If you replace a script into another folder - run it from a new path as in the first launch via (.) or source command.
The script automatically will change an alias path in the .zshrc file for the sake of usage of % xcopen.)
