Overview
Ahoy is a command line tool designed to automate and organize workflows by creating a CLI app for each project without any code or dependencies. It simplifies the process by allowing users to write commands in a YAML file, offering features such as command listing, help text per command, tab completion, and the ability to run commands from any subdirectory.
Features
- Non-invasive: Integrates seamlessly into existing workflows by wrapping commands and scripts already in use.
- Consistent: Commands run relative to the .ahoy.yml file but can be executed from any subfolder.
- Visual: Provides a comprehensive list of commands with descriptions for easy reference.
- Flexible: Commands are specific to each folder tree, enabling unique commands for different repos or workspaces.
- Command templates: Allows users to insert arguments into commands using {{args}}.
- Fully interactive: Supports interactive shells like MySQL and prompts while working with commands.
- Self-documenting: Command help and shell completion are automatically generated from .ahoy.yml declarations.
macOS
Using Homebrew: If ahoy is in homebrew-core, run the following command to install:
