README.md

Auto Run zsh/bash script when work direction be changed (macOS Terminal)

Warning

Now this Script has a New Version

More flexible, more convenient, simpler, and more free.

Usage

cd ~
touch .auto_run
chmod +x .auto_run
mkdir .zsh
touch .zsh/auto_run.zsh

copy auto_run.zsh content and paste clipboard content to your auto_run.zsh file and save it.

then add following script to your .zshrc (maybe at last line)

source ~/.zsh/auto_run.zsh

auto_run.zsh

# == README ==
# source script below in ~/.zshrc
# and touch .auto_run in #HOME folder

# load zsh hook first
autoload -U add-zsh-hook

# == Script Begin ==
# auto_run script
auto_run() {
  # auto run target root folder (you can change it)
  AUTO_RUN_TARGET="$HOME/Works"
  # auto run script (you can change it too OR NOT)
  AUTO_RUN_SCRIPT="$HOME/.auto_run"
  
  typeset -l auto_run_target="${AUTO_RUN_TARGET%/}"
  typeset -l work_direction="${PWD%/}"
  if [[ "$work_direction" == "$auto_run_target"* ]] then
    # you can execute something first e.g.
    # echo "copyright (C) 2023 powered by dofy.net"
    # and execute the .auto_run script
    if [ -f $AUTO_RUN_SCRIPT ] && [ -x $AUTO_RUN_SCRIPT ]; then
      $AUTO_RUN_SCRIPT 2> /dev/null
    fi
  fi
}

# add function to zsh `chpwd` hook
add-zsh-hook chpwd auto_run

我现在主要是配合 devtodo 在使用， ~/.auto_run 中只有 todo 命令，这样可以在进入存在 .todo 文件夹的时候自动显示 todo list
