About

Scriptify makes it extremely easy to go from text in buffer to runnable script.

M-x scriptify does the following:

• insert shebang in the beginning of the buffer (if it is not already there)
• chop off extension (if any) of file
• move file to special directory for scripts (optional)
• set executable bit on

Installation

If you use el-get, use this recipe:

(:name scriptify
       :type github
       :pkgname "vderyagin/scriptify")

Customization

M-x customize-group RET scriptify RET

• scriptify-scripts-directory variable contains path to directory you want to put scripts in, presumably it should be in PATH enviroment variable. Set scriptify-scripts-directory to nil in order not to move files anywhere.

• scriptify-shebang-alist variable is an alist that contains mapping from major-mode symbols to shebang strings (or string-returning functions).
