## 📖 Detailed Usage Guide
### Shell Integration
BCMR provides flexible shell integration similar to zoxide. You can customize command names with prefixes or replace native commands.
Basic syntax:
```bash
bcmr init [shell] [options]
```
Available options:
- `--cmd <prefix>`: Set command prefix (e.g., 'b' creates bcp, bmv, brm)
- `--no-cmd`: Don't create command aliases
- `--path <path>`: Add directory to PATH
Examples:
```bash
# Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
# Use custom prefix (creates testcp, testmv, testrm)
eval "$(bcmr init zsh --cmd test)"
# Replace native commands (creates cp, mv, rm)
eval "$(bcmr init zsh --cmd '')"
# Use 'b' prefix (creates bcp, bmv, brm)
eval "$(bcmr init bash --cmd b)"
```
Supported shells:
- Bash
- Zsh
- Fish
### Copy Command
Basic syntax:
```bash
bcmr copy [options] <source>... <destination>
```
Available options:
- `-r, --recursive`: Copy directories recursively
- `--preserve`: Preserve file attributes (timestamps, permissions)
- `-f, --force`: Force overwrite existing files
- `-y, --yes`: Skip confirmation when using force
- `-n, --dry-run`: Preview operation without making changes
- `--exclude=<pattern>`: Exclude files matching Regex pattern (comma-separated)
- `--fancy-progress`: Use fancy TUI progress display (default is plain text)
Examples:
```bash
# Copy a single file
bcmr copy document.txt backup/
# Copy multiple files (Shell Globbing works!)
bcmr copy *.txt *.md backup/
# Recursively copy a directory
bcmr copy -r projects/ backup/
# Dry run (preview what would be copied)
bcmr copy -r -n projects/ backup/
# Copy with attribute preservation
bcmr copy --preserve important.conf /etc/
# Force overwrite without prompting
bcmr copy -f -y source.txt destination.txt
# Copy with Regex exclusions (exclude .git folder and .tmp files)
bcmr copy -r --exclude="\.git","\.tmp$" src/ dest/
```
### Move Command
Basic syntax:
```bash
bcmr move [options] <source>... <destination>
```
Available options:
- `-r, --recursive`: Move directories recursively
- `--preserve`: Preserve file attributes
- `-f, --force`: Force overwrite existing files
- `-y, --yes`: Skip overwrite confirmation
- `-n, --dry-run`: Preview operation without making changes
- `--exclude=<pattern>`: Exclude matching files (Regex)
- `--fancy-progress`: Use fancy TUI progress display (default is plain text)
Examples:
```bash
# Move a single file
bcmr move old_file.txt new_location/
# Move multiple files
bcmr move file1.txt file2.txt new_location/
# Recursively move a directory
bcmr move -r old_project/ new_location/
# Dry run
bcmr move -n old_project/ new_location/
# Move with exclusions (Regex)
bcmr move -r --exclude="^node_modules","\.log$" project/ new_place/
```
### Remove Command
Basic syntax:
```bash
bcmr remove [options] <path>...
```
Available options:
- `-r, --recursive`: Recursively remove directories
- `-f, --force`: Force removal without confirmation
- `-i, --interactive`: Prompt before each removal
- `-v, --verbose`: Show detailed removal process
- `-d`: Remove empty directories
- `-n, --dry-run`: Preview operation without making changes
- `--exclude=<pattern>`: Exclude matching files (Regex)
- `--fancy-progress`: Use fancy TUI progress display (default is plain text)
Examples:
```bash
# Remove a single file
bcmr remove unnecessary.txt
# Remove multiple files (Globbing)
bcmr remove *.log
# Recursively remove a directory
bcmr remove -r old_project/
# Dry run (safe check)
bcmr remove -r -n potentially_important_folder/
# Interactive removal of multiple files
bcmr remove -i file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
# Remove with exclusions (Regex)
bcmr remove -r --exclude="\.important$","\.backup$" trash/
```
### Progress Display Modes
BCMR offers two progress display modes:
1. **Plain Text Mode (Default)**: Simple text-based progress bars that work in any terminal
2. **Fancy TUI Mode**: Rich terminal UI with enhanced visual elements and gradients
#### Fancy Mode Configuration
You can fully customize the fancy progress bar by creating a configuration file at `~/.config/bcmr/config.toml`:
```toml
[progress]
# Set the style to "fancy" to potentially make it default in future versions (currently requires flag)
style = "fancy"
[progress.theme]
# Define a gradient for the progress bar (Hex colors) - Default is a Morandi purple gradient
bar_gradient = ["#CABBE9", "#7E6EAC"]
bar_complete_char = "█"
bar_incomplete_char = "░"
text_color = "reset" # "reset" adapts to your terminal background
border_color = "#9E8BCA"
title_color = "#9E8BCA"
[progress.layout]
# Options: rounded, double, heavy, single
box_style = "rounded"
```
Use `--fancy-progress` flag to enable the fancy TUI mode for a more visually appealing experience.
