reelpath
reelpath
is a CLI application that prints the absolute path for a given file or directory.
user at host in ~/github.com/nickgerace/reelpath
% reelpath README.md
/home/user/github.com/nickgerace/reelpath/README.md
Motivation
Could this exist as a shell function? Probably. Did I want a cross-platform method to get the absolute path for a given file or directory? Yes.
Since reelpath
does not use any external dependencies, it supports all platforms that Rust supports.
Please file an issue if you encounter an error on your platform of choice.
Usage
You can supply multiple arguments to the CLI, use pipes with xargs
, and use wildcards in a single argument.
reelpath file
reelpath directory
reelpath ../relative/path/to/file
reelpath ../relative/path/to/directory
reelpath $(ls)
reelpath file.* file.extension directory/*
ls | xargs reelpath
Installation
There are two primary methods for installing reelpath
.
Homebrew (macOS only)
You can use Homebrew to install the tap.
brew install nickgerace/nickgerace/reelpath
Note: the tap may not work with Linuxbrew.
Cargo (recommended)
You can use cargo to install the crate on almost any platform.
cargo install reelpath
Keeping the crate up to date is easy with cargo-update.
cargo install cargo-update
cargo install-update -a
Additional Notes
Where is CHANGELOG.md
?
This project adheres to Semantic Versioning, but does not leverage popular changelog formats, like Keep a Changelog, because of its tiny size and purpose. Using GitHub to compare two tags, commits, etc. should suffice for this project.
https://github.com/nickgerace/reelpath/compare/<one-tag>...<another-tag>
https://github.com/nickgerace/reelpath/compare/<latest-tag>...HEAD
Where is the continuous integration?
Local developer testing suffices for this project due to its tiny size and purpose. Continuous integration would be wasteful, but this is subject to change.
