## Introduction


Cargo Commander serves to fill the gap in the `cargo` commands capabilities, namely not being able to run commands in a
similar fashion that `npm` does with scripts.

## Getting started


Either create your commands under a `[commands]` section in your `Cargo.toml` file, or create a new
`Commands.toml` file which uses the exact same syntax as if it had been under the commands section.

```shell
# Install cargo-commander

cargo install cargo-commander
# Run your command

cargo cmd COMMAND
```

## How to use


Read the full guide in our [wiki](https://github.com/seranth/cargo-commander/wiki).

A command can either be a string or a command object using the below fields to customize its behavior.

```text
cmd = String or Array, where an array can either contain string commands or other command objects
parallel = true/false, only makes a difference if the command object contains an array, makes all commands run in parallel
shell = String, the syntax is simply "program arg arg arg"
env = Array, an array of strings in the format "VAR=SOMETHING"
args = Array, an array of strings in the format "ARG=Default value", if no default is given an empty string is used
working_dir = String, path to the directory to use as working directory either relative to the command file or the current directory
```

Here are some examples of how you can set up commands.

```toml
# Cargo.toml

[commands]
hello = "echo world"
multiple = ["echo first", "echo second"]
advanced = { cmd = "print('Hello from python!')", shell = "python -c" }
[commands.test]
hello = "echo test"
with_arguments = { cmd = "echo $ARG1 $ARG2", args = ["ARG1", "ARG2=Default value"] }
with_env = { cmd = ["echo $MY_ENV"], env = ["MY_ENV=Hello"] }
with_both = { cmd = ["echo $MY_ENV $ARG"], env = ["MY_ENV=Hello"], args = ["ARG=Default"] }
```

```toml
# Commands.toml

hello = "echo world"
super_advanced = { cmd = [
    "echo we",
    "echo run",
    "echo in",
    "echo parallel"
], parallel = true }
[git]
status = "git status"
```

If you want to see more examples, check out the `Commands.toml` file in the repository.
