gem-hunter

A simple package to execute shell commands on linux, darwin and windows.

Install the latest version with:

$ go get -u github.com/commander-cli/cmd

or an exact version:

$ go get -u github.com/commander-cli/cmd@v1.0.0

c := cmd.NewCommand("echo hello")

err := c.Execute()
if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())    
}

fmt.Println(c.Stdout())
fmt.Println(c.Stderr())

To configure the command an option function can be passed which receives the command object as an argument passed by reference.

Default option functions:

cmd.WithCustomBaseCommand(*exec.Cmd)
cmd.WithStandardStreams
cmd.WithCustomStdout(...io.Writers)
cmd.WithCustomStderr(...io.Writers)
cmd.WithTimeout(time.Duration)
cmd.WithoutTimeout
cmd.WithWorkingDir(string)
cmd.WithEnvironmentVariables(cmd.EnvVars)
cmd.WithInheritedEnvironment(cmd.EnvVars)

See godocs for details.

c := cmd.NewCommand("echo hello", cmd.WithStandardStreams)
c.Execute()

setWorkingDir := func (c *Command) {
    c.WorkingDir = "/tmp/test"
}

c := cmd.NewCommand("pwd", setWorkingDir)
c.Execute()
