FSET

You use different applications with different file(s) or tab(s) for different tasks. Switching between them means closing everything and starting over manually.

fset does this for you with a single command.

Installation

Prerequisite: Node.js v18+

Install globally:

$ npm i -g @fusionfroze/fset

For local development:

$ npm install

$ npm link

How to use it

Setting up a new Environment

$ fset create demo

This will open the input interface

$ fset create demo
Application 1
? Enter the path to the app: "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk"

Here you have to enter the path that exactly points to the location of the application. Then you will be asked to enter URL if you need it.

(Tip: If you can't find the path, you can just drag and drop the app into your terminal to paste the path.)

$ fset create demo
Application 1
✔ Enter the path to the app: "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk"
Enter URL(s) or file path(s) you want the app to open with.
Press enter with an empty input to exit the input interface.
? URL-1: https://clandor.com

You can exit the input interface for the current application by pressing enter with an empty input.

$ fset create demo
Application 1
✔ Enter the path to the app: "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk"

Press enter with an empty input to exit the input interface.
✔ URL-1: https://clandor.com
✔ URL-2:
? Add another app? (Y/n)

Now you will be given a choice, you can either add a new application or can exit the interface by entering n. If you choose n, a success message will show that your new environment is set up successfully. Or, alternatively you can continue adding more application requried for the task.
