Manage and run project-specific shell commands
epx is a command runner and manager for project.el in Emacs. ’epx’ stands for ’Emacs Project eXecutor’. Source code is available in: main repo: https://git.sr.ht/~alex-iam/epx mirror: https://github.com/alex-iam/epx This package allows you to store and run per-project commands, in the style of Makefile, but more Emacs-specific and tailored for this need. The separate window for the command execution is inspired by modern IDEs. User can create a command bt calling ‘epx-add-command’. They will be prompted for the command itself, its name, whether to use compilation buffer for this command, andenvironment variables - one name and one value at a time. Then created command can be executed by calling ‘epx-run-command-in-shell’. This command provides completion for command name. It runs the command, setting environment variables temporarily. Command is ran in a separate window, which will contail either shell or compilation buffer, depending on command’s :compile option. Commands are stored in dir-locals-file (e.g. .dir-locals.el) or a dedicated file called .epx.eld in the project root. This behaviour is controlled by the variable ‘epx-commands-file-type’. The package can work with only one commands file per project. Warning! Only works in Unix-like systems for now due to how environment variables are processed. This is temporary.
