ProjectLocator (ProLo)

Sick and tired of having to type project's location everytime I want to work on them. Basically, Project Locator will simply show a list of projects you have in config's ROOT property and navigate into them quickly. ProLo will never try to modify anything in your project folder. Well I tried to make the commands as short as possible.

This project uses zsh/&bash only (so far).

The following files help with the script:

​ config: contains a list of configuration items.

​ ROOT: set to the main project folder in which all your projects are contained.

​ project : contains a list of last 10 projects you used through pro

​ last : contains a string of the latest project path you used.

You can add tasks to task along with parameter project:name , 'name' being the project folder's name. ProLo will simply display the list of task everytime you want to see it. Just use pro ta.

Commands

You will need to alias the script to run the script as 'pro'. alias pro=path/to/p.sh

 $ pro            (show last 10 projects)
 $ pro a          (show list of all project in your $ROOT in ./project )
 $ pro l          (goto last project you selected, shows path in ./last)
 $ pro [0-9]      (if you know the number then, jump to the project in that number)
 $ pro [0-9] srcs (same as above, but also change to 'srcs' directory.)
 $ pro l srcs     (goto last project's 'srcs' directory.)
 $ pro ta         (shows latest project's tasks - depends on `task` program )
 $ pro ta tag     (runs the above command but with tag, using task's tag system.)

TODO:

• migrate non-directory changes to python

• Let ProLo create a new project with specified template.

  • Custom todo reader at a specified location.

• Lets ProLo know that there are main sub folders that contain generic information which should be navigated quickly. e.g. I use this structure for every project folder. myproject -+- docs (contains all documentations and architecture information for development) +- devs (contains information about development, like scrum, agile stages etc) +- srcs (the main srcs containing all sort of source codes)

               + docs -> arch, design, reqs ...
               + devs -> elicitations, reqs, stages, todos.md ...
               + srcs -> myproject(android), myproject.b(api), myproject(configs) ...
  

• add custom commands to each project folders and run to get bunch of repetitive stuffs done immediately. Like, pro prepare in an angular app will run ng serve, then open that project in my fav editor and then open my documentations in vim etc.

  • directly edit/create script files.

• Git related features

  • Read git branches and latest commits in the main menu.

• Linking with task cli.

  • usba(users should be able) to link project directory with task project tag.
  • a universal variable like $pro to let the users do this task project:$pro I wan to do this, always on when in the latest directory.

• New command to execute everything in another shell program related to current project.

• New config commands specific to each project folder. pro l ? will show list of command specific to current project. pro l s will change to directory 'srcs' in that project location.

• connect with 'Pomo'

• set current task from task project:xxx

  • set current task with progression with percentage
