Description

Ever found yourself pressing the up arrow and enter 10 times a minute? Ever found yourself typing the same commands again and again?

No worries! Devloop to the rescue!

Usage

I've created this tool to allow a very simple workflow: Open a terminal/editor for editing code, another terminal for devloop.

Devloop allows you to recompile (and test, and whatever you want!) with just pressing Enter, and also save a lot of shortcuts to do other useful and repetitive commands.

Originally it was a shell script but the configuration file being a shell script bothered me, so I made it a rust program!

Installation

Devloop is on crates.io, so just cargo install devloop after installing Rust. Alternatively, put the binary from the Releases page somewhere in your $PATH (or %PATH%)

Configuration

Configuration is in a Devloop.toml (by default) file in the current directory.

It is a toml file. Here's an example (from this repository's Devloop.toml), along with explanations:

```toml

This will be printed when you press q to quit

reminders = "Don't forget to format!"

The [[name]] syntax in toml means that you're defining an array of tables.

So this next section is equivalent to:

#

tasks = [{ name = "Clippy", command = "cargo clippy -q" }]

#

Each [[section]] will define one element in the array.

Each task will be run in order every time you press Enter.

[[tasks]] name = "Clippy" command = "cargo clippy -q"

Actions is a table where the key is the shortcut (in this case "f")

[actions.f] name = "Format" command = "cargo fmt"

[actions.t] name = "Test" command = "cargo test -q"

[actions.b] name = "Benchmark" command = "cargo bench -q" pause = true # devloop will wait for another Enter before re-running [[tasks]]

[actions.R] name = "Build release" command = "cargo build --release"

[actions.r] name = "Run" command = "cargo run" # Another good candidate for pause=true

[actions.c] name = "Clean" command = "cargo clean" ```
