rollercoaster 🎢

Running scripts without need to know the task/script manager. Roll on them like a rollercoaster!

Installation

Homebrew

brew tap dmitriy-rs/tap
brew install rollercoaster

go install https://github.com/dmitriy-rs/rollercoaster@latest

cd rollercoaster

Then place the binary somewhere in your PATH.

Usage

Type the name of the command to see all available actions in the current scope

# will show the list with all available tasks
rollercoaster

Type some letters from the command to run one of the commands

# it will trigger pnpm lint command
rollercoaster li
# or ever will trigger the same action
rollercoaster l

That's so simple as that :)

Alias

I suggest to create alias in your shell for the command. Something short and handy, I use r ("run" mnemonic)

# ~/.zshenv
alias r="rollercoaster"

TODO

Pre-release tasks

• Default js workspace tasks (add, remove, install, npx)
• CLI flag --cwd to start cli in different target directory
• UI with task selection
• If multiple task matches the query show the same selection UI with mached tasks
• --accept-first config to always select first match instead of showing the UI
• Show which letters where matched in UI
• Fuzzy search on mistakes if ilt provided lint should be selected if available
• Add Bun and Deno support

Think

• Fallback js manager
• Nested lock files with different package managers (why?)

On-release tasks

• Setup pipeline for release into different platforms
• Provide good README
• Provide good installation guide for different platforms
• Add coverage, release and platform badges

After initial release

• Investigate into shell integration
• Integrate with zsh shell and test usability
• Add README for shell usage
• Global command to enable/disable shell intergation
• Add support to bash itegration
