Demo

Usage

Create a preset

Your first step is to create your preset. You can do that by running preset create, followed by your preset's name:

preset create test

Append commands

After creating a preset, you need to add your commands to it. You can do that by running preset append, followed by your preset's name and a command:

preset append test echo Hi!
preset append test echo This is a test!

Placeholders

Normally, the appended commands's value is fixed (e.g. echo Hi!). You can make a value flexible (make a preset ask for input when it reaches that command) by adding a placeholder {}:

preset append test echo {}

Run a preset

Finally, you can run your preset by running preset run, followed by your preset's name:

preset run test

You can also disable debugging messages using the --no-message flag.

And, you can preview what would be ran without actually running commands using the --dry-run flag.

Note

If a command returns non-zero, the preset will crash. To keep the preset running despite a failed command, use the --skip-errors flag.

Remove commands

You can remove a specific command from your preset by running preset remove, followed by your preset's name and a command:

preset remove test echo Hi!

Pop commands at a given index

You can pop a command from your preset at a given index by running preset pop, followed by your preset's name and an index:

preset pop test 0

Insert commands

You can insert a command at a given index by running preset insert, followed by your preset's name, index and command:

preset insert test 0 echo Hi!

Listing presets

You can see all of your created presets by running preset list:

preset list

This prints the pretty JSON where all of your created presets are saved.
