tardyon 5.0.0

Invoke scripts slowly.

tardyon

If you write custom scripts, tardyon helps you maintain and invoke them.

Usage

Example script

Save the following script as $HOME/.local/bin/tardyon/all/upgrade.all

#!/bin/sh

# Escalate session once
sudo -v || exit 1

# Update and upgrade APT packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Update Flatpak packages
flatpak update -y

You can now call tardyon upgrade all to upgrade packages across all your package managers (in this example, APT and Flatpak).

Organizing scripts

Tardyon follows a strict but simple organizing principle: tardyon foo bar will invoke the script $HOME/.local/bin/tardyon/bar/foo.bar

Commands are shaped like ordinary English clauses, an imperative with a vocative. So you write tardyon clear cache rather than tardyon cache clear.

Scripts can be any executable file with a shebang, or even a compiled binary.

Show yourself

Tardyon has one special command, tardyon show yourself. This opens the folder containing your tardyon scripts.

Development environment

Initialize with uv sync. Test with uv run pytest.

Release

git tag -a 2.0.0 -m "Version 2.0.0"
uv build
uv publish  # uses tag for version number
