runpro v1.0.2

Runpro

RunPro is a command-line tool that helps you run multiple terminal commands in separate tabs, based on configurations defined in a config.json file. It is designed to simplify the management of multiple services (e.g., frontend and backend) running concurrently in different directories.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Saanvi26/runpro.git
   cd runpro

2. Install the required dependencies:

   npm install

Configuration

In the root folder of the project, create a config.json file. This file should define the commands to run in each terminal tab.

Usage

Start the Commands

Run the following command to start the commands defined in the config.json file. This will open a new terminal tab for each command and run the respective command from the specified directory. runpro start <path-to-config.json>

Help Command

runpro help

How It Works

Config File: The config.json defines which commands to run and their associated directories.
Execution: The runpro tool reads the configuration file, navigates to each specified directory, and opens a new terminal tab for each command.
Platform: The tool uses osascript for macOS to control Terminal and create new tabs. (Currently, it works on macOS only.)

Requirements

• macOS (due to the use of osascript for controlling the Terminal).
• Node.js installed.
