📝Cpad

Do you use several commands in your terminal, one after the other? This tool allows you to combine multiple templated bash commands with the alias of your choice and many others.

👨🏽‍💻 Installation

Prebuilt binaries

Download the binary depending on your configuration here: https://github.com/AmineZouitine/Cpad/releases

Then you just need to enter this command in your terminal:

tar -xf <downloaded_archive> cpad && sudo mv cpad /usr/local/bin

😎 Pro tip (optional)

To be able to navigate with the directional arrows, do this :

Install rlwrap:

debian:
sudo apt install rlwrap

arch:
sudo pacman -S rlwrap

macOS:
brew install rlwrap

add in your ~/.bashrc :

alias cpad='rlwrap cpad'

and save your alias with :

source ~/.bashrc

⚡️ Quick start

Launch Cpad

To use Cpad, you must type in your terminal :

🌗 Enable/Disable emojis

Emoji are great, but can cause display problems on some configurations.

🌕 Enable

cpad 1 

🌑 Disable

cpad 0

Interesting examples of usage

-cb - Allows you to create a combo command.

[cb] - Is the separator between the commands.

[?] - Is a template allowing the user to give a custom argument.
