ew

ew - short for (run things) e(very)w(here) is a tool for grouping folders by tags, and executing tasks in all folders via these tags.

Getting ew

Grab the latest release, and put it in a executable path. If you want to get hands on, install Go, and check out the latest master branch.

Linux

The following script downloads the latest release to /usr/local/bin/`, and makes it executable.

sudo wget -c https://github.com/kernle32dll/ew/releases/download/v1.0.1/ew-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/ew
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ew

Quickstart

Verify ew is working by executing ew version.

Now, you can either jump to any folder and get started tagging by calling ew tags add @mytag, or edit the ew config file by hand (see #Config below)

Now you can run arbitrary commands for this tag (and so in every configured folder):

ew @mytag cat go.mod

Config

Per default, ew tries to loads its config from either ~/.ewconfig.yml or ~/.ewconfig.json. The default is ~/.ewconfig.yml, if you are migrating from gr its ~/.ewconfig.json.

The config file looks as follows:

~/.ewconfig.yml

tags:
  server:
  - /home/bgerda/tc-git/turtlecoding/common/server-common
