Command-Profiler 🚀

Scoped command profiles for the lazy (and efficient) developer in all of us.

What is Command-Profiler?

Tired of juggling a million terminal commands across projects? Wish you could magically summon the exact set of commands you need — whether you’re working on a project or just doing your global thing?

Command-Profiler has got your back.

It’s a CLI tool that helps you create, edit, delete, and run profiles — think of them as command playlists — scoped either per project or globally across your system.

Why use Command-Profiler?

• 🚀 Project or global scope: Use project-specific command bundles or go global if you’re feeling adventurous.
• 🎯 Keep your workflow clean: No more hunting through your shell history or guessing commands.
• 🧙‍♂️ Wizardry with a twist: Profiles are collections of commands you run with a single keyword. Boom!
• ✂️ Edit/Delete: Change your mind? Edit or delete profiles without breaking a sweat.
• ⚡ Run anytime: Fire off your favorite command combos instantly.

Installation

npm install -g command-profiler

Quickstart

🧰 init — Initialize a config in your current project

Before using command-profiler inside a project, you can run:

npx cmdprofiler init

This will create a local configuration for your project:

your-project/ ├── cmdprofiler/ │ └── config.json

The config.json will look like this:

{ "profiles": {} }

Once initialized, any profiles you create from this folder (and any subfolders) will be stored locally in that cmdprofiler/config.json file — not in your global config. 🎯

Create a profile

npx cmdprofiler create dev

You’ll be prompted to enter commands one-by-one. Press enter on an empty line when done.

List profiles

npx cmdprofiler list

Run a profile

npx cmdprofiler run dev

Edit a profile

npx cmdprofiler edit dev

Delete a profile

npx cmdprofiler delete dev

Quick usage

📘 Full Usage Flow in a Project

Go into your project folder:

cd ~/Projects/my-awesome-app

Run the init command:

npx cmdprofiler init

Create your first profile:

npx cmdprofiler create dev

List and run it:

npx cmdprofiler list
npx cmdprofiler run dev

Now you're flying. 🛫

Pro Tips 🧠

• Use --global flag to manage global profiles:

npx cmdprofiler list --global
npx cmdprofiler create deploy --global

• Profiles are stored in:

  • Project scope: cmdprofiler/config.json in your project root (or nearest ancestor folder)
  • Global scope: ~/cmdprofiler/config.json

• You can add any shell commands you want — from npm run build to docker-compose up.

Final Words

If you’re the type who likes to automate, simplify, and impress your future self — command-profiler is your new best friend. Make your terminal less talk, more action.
