So I made an NPM package called ProjectMan.
ProjectMan is a project manager CLI which lets you add projects to favorites and open them from wherever you want using projectman open command.
I am lazy to type p r o j e c t m a n so there's an alias to command projectman which is pm so all ya sloths and pandas out there, you can even type pm <command>
The whole idea was, I hate to cd /till/the/project/path and then open the project in my favorite editor so using ProjectMan you can add projects to favorites with pm add and then open them from anywhere you want with pm open
npm install -g projectman to install ProjectMan and get started🦸
ProjectMan also provides some other commands like pm seteditor, pm remove and pm edit, You can read about them in ProjectMan Documentations

NPM: https://npmjs.com/package/projectman
Hope you all will like it! Do star the repository if you liked it!
If there is anyone who needs help to get started with GitHub or wants to practice sending pull request I would be happy to help with this or any of my other repositories, you can reach out to me on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/saurabhcodes
Thank You for showing interest and reading this 🎉

I use z with zsh-autoauggest to jump to projects...will try this today and
pmshould list projects instead of having to type open again.I just checked out zsh-autosuggest, looks cool! and thanks for showing interest in projectman :D
First thought: I would make
pman alias forpm open.pmwill actually list down all commands but there's an 'o' alias for open so you can actually typepm oand it will open projects.Just wondering: What are you likely to want to do more often? :)
Like in terms of projectman? It actually does make sense to have
pman alias forpm openI would like to have some more opinions on this so maybe we can have a discussion over it.also I'm sorry I guess I didn't get your question 😅.
I just thought if I use the app regularly, the command I'd probably need the most, would be the open command, while I likely only need to look up the commands a couple of times.
Nice logo btw.!
yeah agree! I'll put this up in the next minor version. Thanks for your suggestion 😊.
and yeah I do graphic designing sometimes, Thanks! 🙈
I will be using this, thanks for sharing it with the world!
thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it ! 🌻🌻
Nice idea! Good job! 💪
It would be nice if, when you open a project, it
cdto the folder too maybe with an argument or something like thatSo from nodejs I am calling
exec('code /path/project')to open project so similar thing will not work forcdas it is executed in the separate shell. So apparently to achieve something that you mentioned I would have to write a shell script and somehow call it from nodejs which would be super hacky way of doing it.Also, Thank you so much for reading this!
It would indeed be really hacky and hard to be cross-platform
Hi, In v1.2.0 I added the ability to cd to the folders. You can substitute
pm getpathcommand insidecdand it will show you list of projects and you can select and cd to it. Usually it iscd $(pm getpath)orcd $(pm gp)orcd $(pm gp [projectName])(It won't really cd till the folder when youpm openthough)Great tool. Thank you very much.
Will you support Webstorm in a future release?
You can
pm editand set commandToOpen value towstormand it will work even with this version :)I love this flexibility :D
Thank you! there are pretty cool things coming in next version btw! keep an eye on it's github :)
Aw man this is gonna save me so much time writing the path to a project and searching where I left it. cheers for making this.
Thank you so much! :D
Awesome stuff man :) I'll give it a test ride tomorrow :)
Thank you so much :D
This is really cool! I'm having some trouble getting it working on a windows machine though, I'm getting some 'execution policy' security error - anyone else seeing this?
Are you getting that error in
pm addorpm editcommand?Can you try uninstalling the package and
It's beta version but I changed few things in how I treat settings.json
Would be super helpful if you let me know if this works for you, Thanks!
Awesome idea! I was always using shell aliases to do that kind of stuff.
Thank you so much 🌻 and yes even I love using cli to do almost everything 😂🕺
I'll indulge my laziness once again. Nice!
haha thank you 🌻🌻
