Command Mark

New Feature You can now use Tab completion to finish commands
NOTE gifs are out of date...

Mark commands and locations in bash easily. The commands are saved where you specify when installing

The script is written in bash, so it should be compatible with most linux/macOS systems.

Installation

download the file and go to the directory

git clone https://github.com/acarrab/cmdmark.git
cd cmdmark

Run the install

Note: This writes two commands to your .bashrc j and m, but it also deletes any previously defined commands with those names. You may also specify a different init file by just passing it as a command line argument.

[cmdmark] acarrab$ ./install.sh

Or with the command line argument

[cmdmark] acarrab$ ./install.sh ~/.bash_profile

Command line arguments

Functionality through flag

`-help`

List the possible commands

user$ j -help
commands:
   set:    -set <name> <command>
   delete: -delete <name>
   list:   -list
   help:   -help

`-set`

Set command

Examples:

This sets the command ssh server.place.edu to the name server

$ j -set server ssh server.place.edu

then if you type

$ j server

it will ssh to that server

You can also set a default command to run when you type just j

$ j -set '' echo I am the default command\!
$ j
I am the default command!

`-list`

Lists the possible commands

Here is an example of what mine kind of looks like

acarrab$ j -list
          () --> cd /Users/acarrab/bashtools/cmdmark
         (a) --> ssh access.cs.server.edu
         (k) --> ssh -t access.cs.server.edu ssh acarrab@koala3.cs.server.edu
         (p) --> /Users/acarrab/bashTools/login.sh
        (at) --> sftp acarrab@access.cs.server.edu
        (cd) --> /Users/acarrab/bashtools/cmdmark
        (pc) --> /Users/acarrab/bashtools/login.sh campus
        (pt) --> /Users/acarrab/bashtools/login.sh transfer
       (zsh) --> chsh -s /bin/zsh
      (auto) --> ssh -t access.cs.server.edu ssh compe@130.127.113.1
      (bash) --> chsh -s /bin/bash
    (george) --> ssh -t access.cs.server.edu ssh compe@130.127.110.103
    (webapp) --> ssh webapp.cs.server.edu
    (webdev) --> cd /Users/acarrab/Desktop/webdev
 (transcode) --> ssh -t access.server.edu ssh other

`-delete`

Deletes the command

Example:

acarrab$ j -list
   () --> cd /Users/acarrab/bashtools/cmdmark
  (a) --> ssh access.cs.server.edu
  (k) --> ssh -t access.cs.server.edu ssh acarrab@koala3.cs.server.edu
  (p) --> /Users/acarrab/bashTools/login.sh
acarrab$ j -delete
acarrab$ j -list
  (a) --> ssh access.cs.server.edu
  (k) --> ssh -t access.cs.server.edu ssh acarrab@koala3.cs.server.edu
  (p) --> /Users/acarrab/bashTools/login.sh
acarrab$ j -delete k
acarrab$ j -list
  (a) --> ssh access.cs.server.edu
  (p) --> /Users/acarrab/bashTools/login.sh

Specifying different location for save file

This script requires you to have a file in which the commands are saved. The default save location is set to ~/.savedCommands.dat, but you can specify where to install like so

	./install.sh ~/Desktop/.not_default_location.dat
