@austincondiff is there already CLI for CodeEdit that can be installed via Homebrew or something?

[lukepistrol]

@ahmdyasser Since we're still working on getting our first beta release ready, no, there isn't any homebrew formula available yet.

@lukepistrol How can I create accomplish this issue goal? Should I create the CodeEdit CLI myself?

[austincondiff]

@ahmdyasser you are more than welcome to do this. We already have a CLI, we just need to add these features. Some work has already been done to move the cursor to a specific location here:

• CodeEditApp/CodeEdit#788

This issue is very similar to...

• CodeEditApp/CodeEdit#840

[lukepistrol]

this is already implemented:

# open the current working directory as a folder
codeedit-cli .

# open a specific file in single file mode
codeedit-cli index.html

# open a specific folder
codeedit-cli ~/Developer/example-project

# open a specific file at a specific line
codeedit-cli index.html -l 42

# open a specific file at a specific line and column
codeedit-cli index.html -l 42 -c 3
