DevRunner

A terminal-based task runner for developers, written in Rust.

Features

• Auto-discovery: Automatically finds package.json scripts and Cargo.toml targets.
• TUI: Simple terminal user interface to select and run tasks.
• Global Install: Run it from anywhere.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Rust and Cargo installed (rustup.rs)

Option 1: Install from Source (Recommended)

If you have the code locally (e.g., after cloning the repo), run this inside the project folder:

cargo install --path .

Note: . refers to the current directory where Cargo.toml is located.

Option 2: Install directly from Git

You can install it directly without cloning manually:

cargo install --git https://github.com/yourusername/devrunner

Option 3: Pre-built Binary

(If you release binaries on GitHub, users can download them directly)

Usage

Navigate to any project directory and run:

devrunner

Options

• Scan a specific path:

  devrunner --path /path/to/my/project

• Specify config file:

  devrunner --config my-custom-config.json

Configuration

You can create a .devrunner.json or .devrunner.toml file in your project root to customize behavior.

Example .devrunner.json:

{
  "ignore_paths": ["vendor", "legacy"],
  "custom_scripts": [
    {
      "name": "Deploy to Staging",
      "command": "./deploy.sh staging"
    }
  ]
}
