README
pathos - CLI for editing a PATH env variable
Ruby Version
Go Version
This is the Go version.
Background
If you're like me, you might have a number of export PATH statements
littering your shell resource file (e.g., .zshrc, .bashrc, etc). Over time,
many directory entries get added and revised. Those that remain eventually
become unnecessary, are mistakenly duplicated, or represent directories that no
longer exist on the system. This is my attempt at cleaning up PATH
environment variable. Hopefully, others will find this to be useful.
Demo
Built with the following:
Installation
go install github.com/chip/pathos@latest
IMPORTANT
Be sure to save your changes with S (uppercase letter S) before quitting
pathos, as changes will not be saved automatically.
Each time you save your changes to the directory list, pathos will build a
revised export $PATH statement that is written to $HOME/pathos.sh.
To use the new PATH, ~/pathos.sh MUST BE SOURCED to take effect within your
shell.
source $HOME/pathos.sh
Navigation
Like any typical Bubble Tea app, you have the following keys that are available for navigation:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| k | Move up the list of directories |
| j | Move down the list of directories |
| l | Move to the next page |
| h | Move to the previous page |
| g/home | Move to the top of the list |
| G/end | Move to the end of the list |
| q | Quit pathos (does NOT save changes) |
| ? | Toggle between regular and full help |
Commands
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| N | Add a new directory to the list at the current cursor position |
| D | Delete a directory at the current cursor position |
| S | Save all changes made to the list of directories |
Color Highlighting
| Color | Description |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Shows current cursor position |
| Red | Indicates directories that do not exist |
| Aqua | Indicates duplicate directories |
