Projector, a CLI for managing multiple projects
I work on a lot of FOSS projects, it's literally part of my job. Unfortunately this means that moving around my project directories (especially my GOPATH) can get insanely burdensome. So I wrote this CLI to basically emulate my much beloved projectile tool in Emacs. This CLI can be viewed as a "no setup" required version of mr (myrepos). But a bit more flexible than that.
Installation
You can install projector from crates.io via cargo:
cargo install projector
Or you can build it locally with:
git clone https://github.com/chasinglogic/projector $PATH_TO_PROJECTOR
cd $PATH_TO_PROJECTOR
cargon install --path .
Usage
projector 0.1.0

USAGE:
projector [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-c, --code-dir <CODE_DIR> The root of where to search for projects. Also can be
configured using the environment variable CODE_DIR.
Default: ~/Code
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
list
run
Definitions
Projector considers any git repo as a "project". In future versions I will
expand this definition but it works for me now so that's the way it is.
Additionally, projector operates off of the assumption that you have all of your
code / projects under one directory. For myself I use ~/Code
.
Projector has two functions: list
and run
.
List
list
will literally print a list of the projects under your code directory.
You may be wondering, what would I use this for? The answer is quickly moving around!
You can create a bash function in your bashrc like this:
function sp() {
cd $(projector list | grep -i $1)
}
Now if you source your bashrc and type sp $name_of_a_project
you will
instantly be transported to your project directory. For example:
Users/chasinglogic λ . .bashrc
Users/chasinglogic λ sp projector
Code/projector master λ sp dfm
chasinglogic/dfm master λ pwd
/Users/chasinglogic/Code/go/src/github.com/chasinglogic/dfm
chasinglogic/dfm master λ
Optionally, if you have another tool I'm fond of called FZF you can take this a step further and make a fuzzy searchable list of your projects:
function sp() {
cd $(projector list | fzf)
}
Now you get something like this:

and you can search and select using FZF's awesome interface:

> projector
Enter and voila!:
Users/chasinglogic λ sp
Code/projector master λ pwd
/Users/chasinglogic/Code/projector
Code/projector master λ
Run
Run allows you to run shell commands in all of your projects. For example if you wanted to run git status on every project:
Code/projector master λ projector run git status
nothing to commit, working tree clean
On branch emacs-26
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/emacs-26'.
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
update.sh
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: Cargo.lock
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Code/projector master λ
Any flags you pass after the program will get passed to the program so you can type the command just like you would normally, no weird shell quoting!
