Magic goto - goto where you need to be, right now.
Project description
Goto
v1.5.2
Goto is a magic tool that takes you were you want to be, now.
When you are involved in different projects, they all have their own folders, important files, links to good articles or key websites. The problem is that all these are spread out on different locations.
By adding shortcuts to goto, so called magic words, you can jump to them. The shortcuts are associated with a project name. And you can switch the project context any time.
Usage
$ project your-project
active project is now: your-project
$ goto add github https://github.com/user/your-project
Added magic word github
$ goto github
# opens https://github.com/user/your-project in your browser
Setup
Mac OS-X / Linux
pip install magicgoto
After install, close and reopen your terminal.
Windows (using gitbash)
Do the same as above, but open git bash as Administrator
Linux - User Site install
On linux, the recommended way to install goto is by pip install --user magicgoto
This requires that you have your User site bin in your path.
Usually this is ~/.local/bin
. So adding PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:$PATH"
to
your rcfile should do the trick in most cases.
Commands
goto
Used to add and jump to shortcuts.
The basics
goto <magicword> Go to shortcut
goto add <magicword> <url or path> Add shortcut
goto update <magicword> <url or path> Update shortcut
goto rm <magicword> Remove shortcut
goto show <magicword> Show url of shortcut
goto list List all shortcuts
goto list -v With the urls printed
Working with folders and files
goto <magicword> Goto will cd to a folder shortcut by default.
goto cd <magicword> cd in terminal
goto open <magicword> open in finder/file explorer
goto -o <magicword>
If you add a shortcut to a folder, and name it "code"...
goto add code <path to folder with code>
...this command will open folder with Sublime Text
goto subl
...IntelliJ: goto idea, VSCode: goto vscode
project
Used to add and switch project contexts.
Usage: project [add <projectname>] | [list]
other commands:
add <projectname> - adds a new project and makes it the active project.
rm <projectname> - removes the project
list - lists all projects
deactivate - deactivates goto project
help - if you want to read this one more time.
How does Goto know which project is the active one?
You tell goto with this command: project <project-name>
Examples: project django-blog
| project website
| project goto
$ project goto
active project is now: goto
Running project
with no arguments, will show you the current active project.
$ project
goto
How does Goto know which projects exists?
You tell Goto with the command:
project add <project-name>
How does Goto know which shortcuts there are in the project?
Define them once, and use them a thousand times. By this command:
goto add <magic-word> <URI>
A magic-word is the name of your shortcut. The URI is the target of your shortcut. It could be a file, a directory, a web-url.
Examples:
goto add github https://github.com/technocake/goto
goto add music ~/the/sound/of/music
goto add jira http://jira.com/project/X
First one adds a url to a repo on github relevant to the project. The second one adds a folder path.
When you activate a project, Goto remembers which project you are thinking about right now.
Then it makes sense to call the shortcut visualstudio, because it implicit means the visual studio project associated with this project.
Examples:
goto add jira http://jira.com/project/X
Uninstall
pip uninstall magicgoto
# remove source start_goto from your ~/.bash_profile | ~/.bashrc | ~/.zshrc
