def

This plugin is used to specify and run a default command in any directory of your choice

To use it you can either run def init to create the default config file or create a .def file in every folder where you want to use the command

Configuration

The default configuration file is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/def/. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set then it defaults to $HOME/.config

The structure of the file is <folder> <command> on each line. The folders can be specified as regex. The ~ character is automatically expanded to the $HOME directory

If you use a local .def file then it should only hold the command to be executed

Example of a global config

/home/vinter/frontend npm run
^/home/vinter/projects/go go build
~/stuff/git git pull

Hence typing def in /home/vinter/frontend will run npm run instead

Example of a local config

git init

Hence typing def in the folder that contains the above .def file will run git init instead

Additional commands

You can add a command for the current folder by using def add [command].

def add npm run

You can remove any commands that match the current folder by using def remove. Please note that it will also remove any local .def files.
