tardyon 5.0.3

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/tardy/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/tardy/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.

Special commands

• tardyon show yourself: Opens the folder containing your scripts.
• tardyon check yourself: Validates script names, detects duplicates, and fixes execution permissions.

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
