Installation

curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/criography/d2b4926f22f829888299/raw/bd790a02b276f35dc8934193291cf4cc2d3753bf/nu.sh -o /usr/local/bin/nu && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nu

Please note
If you're getting Warning: Failed to create the file /usr/local/bin/nu: No such file or directory error, it means that your /usr/local/bin directory doesn't exist. You can either create it by installing latest node or similar package, or by hand, by running:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin

Usage

First cd to wherever you want to create new client or project and:

To create new client

nu client "client name"
nu c "client name"

To create project with today's date

nu project "project name"
nu p "project name"

To create project with custom date

nu project "YYYY.MM.DD - project name"
nu p "YYYY.MM.DD - project name"

You can combine both arguments

nu c "client name" p "project name"

To show this help

nu help
nu -h
