cli-wd v0.6.0

cli-wd

Run program in a modified working directory.

Example

$ wd /usr/bin pwd
/usr/bin

Put archive file in a custom directory across archivers:

$ wd ./dir tar cvaf ../dir.tbz2 .
$ wd ./dir zip -r ../dir .
$ wd ./dir 7z a ../dir . -tzip

Start a subshell:

$ wd /
$ echo $SHLVL $PWD
2 /

CLI

wd [-s | --shell] <directory> [<command>] [arg]...

Run <command> (which defaults to $SHELL) with supplied arguments in a given working directory. Fall back to shell (just in case <command> is a shell function or alias).

--shell forces command to be executed in shell.

API

This is only a thin wrapper over kexec falling back to child_process.spawnSync, but anyway:

spawnFrom(wd, cmd, argv)

Synchronously spawn process defined by cmd and argv in the working directory wd.

Install

npm install -g cli-wd
