ProjectMan🦸 is here! Add projects to favorites and open them from command line

So I made an NPM package called ProjectMan.

ProjectMan is a project manager CLI which lets you add projects to favorites and open them from wherever you want using projectman open command.

I am lazy to type p r o j e c t m a n so there's an alias to command projectman which is pm so all ya sloths and pandas out there, you can even type pm <command>

The whole idea was, I hate to cd /till/the/project/path and then open the project in my favorite editor so using ProjectMan you can add projects to favorites with pm add and then open them from anywhere you want with pm open

npm install -g projectman to install ProjectMan and get started🦸

ProjectMan also provides some other commands like pm seteditor, pm remove and pm edit, You can read about them in ProjectMan Documentations

NPM: https://npmjs.com/package/projectman

Hope you all will like it! Do star the repository if you liked it!

Great tool. Thank you very much.

Will you support Webstorm in a future release?

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

You can pm edit and set commandToOpen value to wstorm and it will work even with this version :)

I love this flexibility :D

Your welcome! and thanks for reading 🌻

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

This is really cool! I'm having some trouble getting it working on a windows machine though, I'm getting some 'execution policy' security error - anyone else seeing this?

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

Are you getting that error in pm add or pm edit command?
Can you try uninstalling the package and

npm install -g https://github.com/saurabhdaware/projectman#v1.1.0-rc.1

It's beta version but I changed few things in how I treat settings.json
Would be super helpful if you let me know if this works for you, Thanks!

Nice idea! Good job! 💪

It would be nice if, when you open a project, it cd to the folder too maybe with an argument or something like that

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

Hi, In v1.2.0 I added the ability to cd to the folders. You can substitute pm getpath command inside cd and it will show you list of projects and you can select and cd to it. Usually it is cd $(pm getpath) or cd $(pm gp) or cd $(pm gp [projectName]) (It won't really cd till the folder when you pm open though)

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

So from nodejs I am calling exec('code /path/project') to open project so similar thing will not work for cd as it is executed in the separate shell. So apparently to achieve something that you mentioned I would have to write a shell script and somehow call it from nodejs which would be super hacky way of doing it.

Also, Thank you so much for reading this!

[Francis Provost]

It would indeed be really hacky and hard to be cross-platform
