# run(.fish)
# swim.fish
This repo contains my run(.fish) script. It serves as a central place to store and document commands
related to a project. It was written with the KISS principle at the forefront of my mind. New
versions will only ever be simple enough to understand almost immediately.
swim.fish is a simple executable script and fish-based "DSL". It lets you easily compile and catalog
your project's most frequently run commands. Think `make` or `npm run`.
In this repo is a hello world example. You can just copy this script to your repo and replace it's
command functions with your own. You're encouraged to modify it to your needs, but I urge you to
keep the KISS principle in mind as well. Shell scripts have a way of getting away from you (who
knew?).

- [Getting Started](#swim-fish#getting-started)
- [Install `sw`](#swim-fish#install-sw)
- [Included Commands](#swim-fish#included-commands)
- [Self-executable swim.fish](#swim-fish#self-executable-swim-fish)
## Getting Started
[*^ Back to Top ^*](#swim-fish)
The easiest way to get started is by copy this repository's `swim.fish` to your own project's root
directory. Then replace this projects command functions with your own. They look like this:
```fish
function swim_your_command_name -a one_of n_args -d 'A sentence description of your command'
fish shell content
...
end
```
The required prefix of `swim_` can be configured, by setting the `cmd_func_prefix` global variable
(located at the top of example swim.fish).
## Install `sw`
[*^ Back to Top ^*](#swim-fish)
The only dependency is [fish itself](https://fishshell.com/).
The easiest way to install `sw` is by running this
`curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchell/swim.fish/master/sw >sw && chmod +x sw`
then copying `sw` to your preferred location in your binpath, like `/usr/local/bin` on .
## Included Commands
[*^ Back to Top ^*](#swim-fish)
The following commands are included.
- `help`:
- Examples:
- `sw help`: Displays all top-level commands and their descriptions
- `sw help <command>`: Displays the commands definition
- `sw <command group> help`: Displays the group's commands and their descr
- Aliases:
- `--help`: If used with command group display group help, otherwise display command definition.
- `-h`: Same as above
- `do`:
- Examples:
- `sw do <command> [arg ...], <command> [arg ...], ...`: Run the specified commands in sequence
## Self-executable swim.fish
[*^ Back to Top ^*](#swim-fish)
If you wish to make your *swim.fish* file self-executable instead of installed `sw`. Then all you
have to do is add
```fish
#!/usr/bin/env fish
```
to the top of your *swim.fish*, and
```fish
curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchell/swim.fish/master/importable_sw.fish | source
run_swim_command $cmd_func_prefix $argv
```
to the bottom of your file.
Then you can run it like `./swim.fish <command>`.
