About

Yeah is a CLI designed to improve the workflow of a shell. Pull requests + more commands are welcome!

The following commands are currently supported:

• Goto: Save keywords as directory shortcuts and change to thier directory
• Custom Commands: Execute custom commands written within a yeah.yml file

Installation

1. Clone the repo
2. We have to source our yeah.sh file. So, in your shell config (ie, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc) set:

if [[ -f /your/path/to/yeah/yeah.sh ]]
then
    source /your/path/to/yeah/yeah.sh
fi

3. Reload your shell

Commands

Help

Easily get help for any available Yeah command.

• Usage: yeah help some_command
• Note that if there is a project context (ie, a yeah.yml file), then you will be able to use this help for the specified custom commands as well.

Goto

Change directories to a location indicated by a keyword.

• Usage: yeah goto some_keyword [--set=</your/directory>] [--delete] [--clear] [--list]
• Example:

# Set new keyword: test
yeah goto test --set=/my/path

# Go to keyword: test => cd /my/path
yeah goto test

# Delete keyword: test
yeah goto test --delete

# List all keywords
yeah goto --list

# Delete all keywords
yeah goto --clear

Custom Commands

This is designed so that you can save different commands and execute them easily. You can create a yeah.yml file and configure it. Under the commands scope, you can declare commands. These commands can be run the same way as a regular command. For example, a command named custom_test can be run by invoking yeah custom_test.

• Usage: yeah some_custom_command [--args] [--to_be_forwarded] [--to_specified_command]
• Example:

# yeah.yml

commands:
  install:
    desc: install dependencies via npm
    run: npm install

$ yeah install # runs: npm install
npm output...
$ yeah install --silent # runs: npm install --silent

Example Configuration
