PyDoer is a CLI application aiming to automate executing multiple commands in different terminal applications.
Featuring
- Terminal Configuration as code
- Design Menu and commands using json config
- Launch/Close commands
- Free software: GNU General Public License v3.0
You need to have Python, Bash and gnome-terminal installed.
Install PyDoer in virtual environment:
Get the code
git clone git@github.com:boromir674/doer.git
Install in a python virtual environment
cd doer
virtualenv env --python=python3 source env/bin/activate
pip install python-doer
- Make pydoer cli available in path
Assuming ~/.local/bin is in $PATH
ln -s $PWD/env/bin/pydoer ~/.local/bin/pydoer
- (Optional) Define useful aliases
Assuming you cloned the code in directory '/data/repos/doer'
alias doer='/data/repos/doer/env/bin/pydoer menu /data/repos/doer/python-doer/menu_entries.json' alias close-doing='/data/repos/doer/env/bin/pydoer close-doing'
Install PyDoer for user:
Get the code
git clone git@github.com:boromir674/doer.git
Install for user
cd doer
pip install --user python-doer
The pydoer cli should now be (automatically) in $PATH
- (Optional) Define useful aliases
alias doer='pydoer menu /data/repos/doer/python-doer/menu_entries.json' alias close-doing='pydoer close-doing'
To run, simply execute (either from within the virtual env or if you installed with user/global scope):
pydoer
- Basically you have 2 commands:
show interactive menu
pydoer menu </path/to/menu.json>
The program parses the entries defined in json formatted file defined by the user json' file and renders an interactive "Menu" in the terminal, waiting for the user to make a selection. Each selection, generates a 'do' script which is responsible for opening/spawning one or more terminal applications. For each terminal application, a 'launch' script is generated which is responsible for running certain commands on that terminal.
