nocd 1.0.0

Run commands in another directory without cd

nocd

Run commands in another directory withinout cd

Warning: this is pure vibe code for now. It will become less so if I add features; or people use it

Motivation

With llms I find myself managing more tasks at the same time while waiting for LLMs to finish and generally doing more stuff. This command lets you run commands in a different directory.

Alternatives and prior work

You could run do this with subshells in bash

( cd ~/directory/blah ; command ; )

But this is more typing than I am willing to do. You could set up an alias for this. But I like my setup to be in globally installable pip packages where possible.

Installation

You can install this with pipx

pipx install nocd

Usage

Add a diretory for looking for directories

nocd --add-dir directory

nocd sub ls

Run ls in subdirectory of directory.
