Installation
Install Scriptflow CLI globally using npm for easy access across your system:
npm install -g scriptflow-cli
This installation process integrates Scriptflow CLI seamlessly into your terminal, making the flow
command globally accessible.
Usage
Scriptflow CLI enhances your command line efficiency with the following commands:
Initialize Scriptflow CLI
Start by initializing Scriptflow CLI to set up your preferred terminal profile and flow directory:
flow init

Create a New Flow
Easily create a new command flow:

You'll be guided to define a flow name, path, and command sequence, culminating in a custom script tailored for your terminal environment.
List All Flows
View all your created flows with ease:
flow list
Execute a Flow
Run any predefined flow swiftly:
flow run <flowName>
Replace <flowName>
with your desired flow's name.
Delete a Flow
Remove any existing flow:
flow delete <flowName>
Just replace <flowName>
with the flow you wish to delete.
Edit a Flow
Modify any flow with your default text editor:
flow edit <flowName>
Change <flowName>
to the name of the flow you intend to edit.
Updates:
As of 1.0.0, the edit command is now open to any text editor that can be called from the terminal.
To change your default editor use the -openCommand (-o) flag with the flow init command.
// Open sublime text as the default editor
flow edit hello-world -o subl
If your editor is not in your PATH, you can use the -path (-p) flag to specify the path to the editor.
// Open sublime text as the default editor
flow edit hello-world -p /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl
After setting the default editor you can use the edit command without specifying the editor.
Set to Default
Set scriptflow to default settings, with the option to delete flows:
flow default
After resetting you will need to re initialize Scriptflow with flow init
