Overview

Free software: GNU General Public License v3.0




Prerequisites
You need to have Python, Bash and gnome-terminal installed.


Installation
Install PyDoer in virtual environment:

Get the code

git clone [email protected]:boromir674/doer.git


Install in a python virtual environment

cd doer
virtualenv env –python=python3
source env/bin/activate
pip install python-doer



Make pydoer cli available in path
Assuming ~/.local/bin is in $PATH




ln -s $PWD/env/bin/pydoer ~/.local/bin/pydoer

(Optional) Define useful aliases

Assuming you cloned the code in directory ‘/data/repos/doer’
alias doer='/data/repos/doer/env/bin/pydoer menu /data/repos/doer/python-doer/menu_entries.json'
alias close-doing='/data/repos/doer/env/bin/pydoer close-doing'
Install PyDoer for user:

Get the code

git clone [email protected]:boromir674/doer.git


Install for user

cd doer
pip install –user python-doer



The pydoer cli should now be (automatically) in $PATH

(Optional) Define useful aliases

alias doer='pydoer menu /data/repos/doer/python-doer/menu_entries.json'
alias close-doing='pydoer close-doing'


Usage
To run, simply execute (either from within the virtual env or if you installed with user/global scope):

pydoer


Basically you have 2 commands:

show interactive menu

pydoer menu </path/to/menu.json>
The program parses the entries defined in json formatted file defined by the user json’ file and renders
an interactive “Menu” in the terminal, waiting for the user to make a selection.
Each selection, generates a ‘do’ script which is responsible for opening/spawning one or more terminal applications.
For each terminal application, a ‘launch’ script is generated which is responsible for running certain commands on that terminal.
