workspace

ws is a CLI to manage and interpret small YAML files that specify tasks to open a project like opening an editor, launching a server or visiting a chat or documentation in the browser. It can be used to efficiently switch between work and side projects.

Installation

bash cargo install workspace

Then setup the ws command in your shell: - bash: Add this line to your .bashrc bash eval $(workspace shell bash) - fish: Add this line to your config.fish fish workspace shell fish | source - PowerShell: Add this line to your profile.ps1 powershell Invoke-Expression "$(workspace shell posh)"

workspace shell prints a shell function ws that delegates output from workspace but intercepts commands to run. This lets you change the directory and run commands directly in the shell, e.g. if they need user input.

Documentation

For the CLI, see: ws --help

Workspaces can have the following fields: - path, list of strings
path to the workspace - tabs, list of strings
tabs to open in $BROWSER - commands, table - local, list of strings
commands execute in the current shell - background, list of strings
commands execute as background processes - external, list of strings
commands to execute in a new $TERMINAL

Note: path is mandatory and created automatically by ws new

For example, this is the workspace I use for my blog: ``` path: /home/matthias/code/web/blog/

commands: local: - git status - sudo systemctl start nginx background: - code -r . external: - gulp

tabs: - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ - localhost `` It willcdinto~/code/web/blog/, print the git status, open the directory in visual studio code, start thegulpbuild in a new terminal, launchnginxto serve the files and openlocalhost` and MDN in the browser.
