just use python instead.
- wrap around
subprocess.run()
, to call to system utils - use
pathlib.Path
for file paths and reading/writing to files - use
shutil.which()
to resolve utilities from yourPath
env var
Here's an example of some python i use to launch vscode (and terminals, but that requires dbus
)
from pathlib import Path
from shutil import which
from subprocess import run
def _run(cmds: list[str], cwd=None):
p = run(cmds, cwd=cwd)
# raises an error if return code is non-zero
p.check_returncode()
return p
VSCODE = which('code')
SUDO = which('sudo')
DOCKER = which('docker')
proj_dir = Path('/path/to/repo')
docker_compose = proj_dir / 'docker/'
windows = [
proj_dir / 'code',
proj_dir / 'more_code',
proj_dir / 'even_more_code/subfolder',
]
for w in windows:
_run([VSCODE, w])
_run([SUDO, DOCKER, 'compose', 'up', '-d'], cwd=docker_compose)
nushell is pretty good. I use it for my main shell
although, i still prefer writing utilities in python over nu scripts
