xf

Find a file in the current directory and upwards, then execute it.

Usage

First, you need to define rules that tell xf what files to look for and how to execute them.

We configure the rules in the following format:

<file>:<command>

Configuration file path: Linux: $HOME/.config/xf/xf macOS: $HOME/Library/Preferences/xf/xf Windows: $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Roaming

Configure the following rules:

Somefile:bash $file $@ Makefile:make $@

Task automatically inserts a built-in rule at the end

Taskfile:$file $@

execute xf foo

Look for a Taskfile in the current directory, and if found, execute bash Somefile foo .

If not found, continue to look for the Makefile in the current directory, if found, execute make foo.

If not found, continue to look for Taskfile in the current directory, if found, execute Taskfile foo.

If not found, enter the upper directory to continue this process.

Ignore suffix and case when matching files.

Variables

The following built-in variables can be used in the config.

• $@ - pass-through command line parameters
• $file - file path
• $fileDir - file directory, process's cwd will be set to this value
• $currentDir - the current directory

These variables(exclude $@) are also synced to environment variables. Such as $file => $XF_FILE
