First add an entry into your pyproject.toml file that contains the command you want to run:
[tool.fonk.command.my_command]
description = "Run my command"
arguments = ["echo", "Hello, World!"]
type = "shell"Then run the command using the following command:
uvx fonk my_commandYou can define flags for your command. For example, to define a flag that changes the output of your command:
[tool.fonk]
flags = [
{ name = "love", shorthand = "l", description = "Show love" }
]
[tool.fonk.command.my_command]
description = "Run my command"
arguments = ["echo", "Hello, World!"]
type = "shell"
flags = [
{ on = "love", remove = ["Hello, World!"], add = ["I love you, World!"] }
]Then run the command with the flag:
uvx fonk my_command --loveYou'll note that we had to add the flag in the flags table as well as in the command table. This is because the flag is a global flag that can be used with any command. The on field in the flag table specifies the flag that the command should listen to. The remove field specifies the arguments that should be removed when the flag is used. The add field specifies the arguments that should be added when the flag is used.
There are a number of built in flags that change the behaviour of fonk itself, but can also affect your commands. These are:
--helpor-h: Shows the help message for the command. Cannot reach your command.--quietor-q: Runs the command in quiet mode, which suppresses all output.--verboseor-v: Runs the command in verbose mode, which shows all output.--fail-quickor-x: Stops the command as soon as an error is encountered.--concurrentor-j: Runs the command concurrently.
