swissknife
A simple gem with sneaky commands!
If you're tired of having to type out long commands excessively, then meet swissknife! The whole purpose of the project is to provide a slew of shortened and simple commands to help developers.
Adding a command
To create a new command, start by opening up the swissknife.rb file in lib, and create a new definition in the Util
class, like this:
# lib/swissknife.rb
# put any helper functions in the SwissKnife module, but not in the Util class
# class Util
def hello
puts 'Hello World!'
end
Next, create a new file without an extension with the name of your command. Having it match the name of the definition
you created earlier is recommended. For my example, it would be hello. Finally, all that's needed is to add a shebang,
require for the module, and method initialization, as follows:
# bin/hello
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'swissknife'
SwissKnife::Util.new.hello
