Hi all. I thought I should present what I've been working on for the
past weeks.
This is my first time developing anything half-serious in zsh. I'd love
some thoughts on it or even a code review if anybody feels like it.
I took this project as an exercise and aimed to write as clean and
robust code as I could, offer decent completion (though I admit I only
understand the most simple features of the system), and have automated
testing for the core features.
The code: https://github.com/nahoj/tss
git clone https://github.com/nahoj/tss.git
## What it does
tss is a tool to tag and find files with tags à la TagSpaces (a
graphical tool), i.e., tags in file names such as "IMG-2653[vacation
alps].jpg".
As you can guess, one can perfectly manage such files without any
specialized tool, which was part of the appeal of this tagging system to
me. But after a couple of years of tagging my files half in TagSpaces,
half by hand, I thought a dedicated CLI tool would be handy after all.
$ ls
IMG-2653.jpg
$ tss add 'vacation alps' IMG-2653.jpg
$ tss files -t 'alps' *
IMG-2653[vacation alps].jpg
$ cp "IMG-2653[vacation alps].jpg" "IMG-2653_copy[vacation alps copy].jpg"
$ tss files -t 'alps' -T 'copy' * # or --tags 'alps' --not-tags 'copy'
IMG-2653[vacation alps].jpg
### Glob patterns
$ tss remove 'v* a*' "IMG-2653_copy[vacation alps copy].jpg"
$ find | tss filter -t '(alps|pyrenees)'
./IMG-2653[vacation alps].jpg
### Completion
$ tss query -t tag1 <tab> # Files with tag1
$ tss query -t tag1 path/ -t <tab> # Tags found on files that have tag1
in path/
$ tss add tag1 <tab> # Files that don't have tag1
Best,
