history
Project history and usage
cmdshelf is a Rust command-line script manager that treats executables in repositories as runnable commands.
Project history
The official README presents cmdshelf as a new way of scripting, emphasizing directory-separated namespaces, no PATH configuration, shell completion, inherited standard streams, and a portable .cmdshelf.toml environment.
Adoption history
The official README documents Homebrew installation on macOS and Cargo installation from source, while the input facts show Homebrew packaging.
How it is used
Users add a repository as a remote, after which cmdshelf records it in ~/.cmdshelf.toml and lazily clones it under ~/.cmdshelf/remote/ when commands are needed.
Why package nerds care
cmdshelf sits in the shell tooling niche of turning version-controlled script collections into executable command namespaces without hand-editing PATH.
Timeline
- 2018: GitHub releases page lists 1.0.2 as latest on August 18, 2018.
Related projects
- The official docs position cmdshelf around Git-hosted script repositories rather than a larger related-project family.
