How to create your command in the console?

Question

linux

Want Want want!
I want to run local sites with my own team.
I have Galp, now the command is used:

cd public_html/sitename.loc/ && atom . && gulp watch

And I want it differently, for example:
siteloc sitename start
So that both Atom and Galp are launched at the same time.
This is generally in which direction to dig?

Answer 1

It's strange that no one suggested the easiest and, in my opinion, the most suitable way for this case - create a function in .bashrc
paste these lines at the end of the ~/.bashrc file

function siteloc() {
  # выйти если нет аргумента
  [ -n "$1" ] || return 1
  cd "$HOME/public_html/$1.loc"
  atom .
  gulp watch
}

and run the command source ~/.bashrcfor the changes to take effect.
After that, you can execute this set of commands with the line: siteloc sitename
In the future, you can improve this function, for example, add a check to see if the directory exists "$HOME/public_html/$1.loc".

Answer 2

Dig towards shell scripts

Answer 3

look in /etc/init.d - there are scripts that start services. You want to make an analog.

Answer 4

If a single command without parameters like "siteloc-sitename-start" works, then google towards bash alias. If you need a service with parameters, then you need to do an init / systemd script.

Answer 5

Towards the Bourne Shell. Write a scripter that will be allowed to process the start/stop parameters, name it siteloc - no one will interfere. In general, Bourne Shell is real elven magic, it works wonders :)
