A Ubuntu command line tool for developers! With this tool you will no longer need to remember the weird commands in Linux to configure! When you run a function, the executed command is displayed and that helps you memorize each of the Utilities for future usage.
u-cli differs from other mac command line tools in that:
- Its main purpose is to manage administrative tasks and do it easier
- It doesn't install 3rd party tools because it doesn't have dependencies
- Tools need: bash, sed, awk, grep, apt, gsettings-desktop-schemas. They are normally pre-installed in almost all desktop distros.
- The installation is very easy and doesn't require intervention
- It only uses Linux shell commands.
To install or update u-cli you can run this command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ujnzxw/u-cli/master/install.sh | sh
You can also install it in a different path
INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.u-cli sh <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ujnzxw/u-cli/master/install.sh)
Note: You should reload your shell in both cases
