# gbg


Go (to) BackGround, a hypersimple cli tool to run any command in the background from your shell.

## Install


```bash
cargo install gbg
```

## Usage


```text
gbg [-l LOG_FILE] <command> [args...]
```

- Without `-l` the command's output is discarded (`/dev/null`).
- With `-l` the command's stdout & stderr are appended to `LOG_FILE`.

### Examples


```bash
# Run a long-running script and discard output

gbg python long_task.py

# Run a long-running script and log everything to script.log

gbg -l script.log python long_task.py
```

Built for Linux & macOS. Requires the Rust installed
