Command to exit and change CWD about joshuto HOT 6 CLOSED

new command added: quit_to_cwd
This will write the current directory to a file specified by the --lastdir command line option.
Then the function I mentioned above will go to that directory upon quiting joshuto

This is excellent! The only change I would make (and I don't mean to be nitpicky) would be to change the name from --lastdir to --last-dir just to separate the two words and keep a regular naming-convention for flags. Maybe we could add a shorthand version -l as well, if we want to type less. Thank you again and I appreciate the quick turnaround!

You can currently do this via an alias:

alias joshut='joshuto --lastdir /tmp/$USER/joshuto-lastdir;
	LASTDIR="$(cat /tmp/$USER/joshuto-lastdir)";
	[ "$LASTDIR" != "$(pwd)" ] && cd "$LASTDIR"';

This is not optional though; you will always cd to the current directory in Joshuto on exit.
But you can go back with cd -

If you want it to be optional, we can potentially modify the exit code to indicate to our shell that we want to move to the specified directory. ie. exit code 2 means cd to the current directory in Joshuto

Hmm that sounds sort of hacky, maybe this function from hunter might be helpful in finding a solution:
https://github.com/rabite0/hunter/blob/355d9a3101f6d8dc375807de79e368602f1cb87d/src/file_browser.rs#L931

Yea, we can implement a command like hunter to QuitToCwd.

Then have a bash function to facilitate it like hunter. This is what I currently have atm:

function joshuto() {
	CWD_FILE="/tmp/$USER/joshuto-cwd"
	env joshuto --lastdir "$CWD_FILE" $@

	if [ -e "$CWD_FILE" ]; then
		JOSHUTO_CWD=$(cat "$CWD_FILE")
		rm "$CWD_FILE" && cd "$JOSHUTO_CWD"
	fi
}

I will be adding QuitToCwd shortly.
I don't think I will be adding all the additional options hunter has (at least for now) just because I don't think it will work well with files with spaces or other special characters (without more work).
ie.

HUNTER_CWD=...
F=...
MF=...

We can also move --lastdir into an option in the config instead of a command line parameter, but that can be for the future

from joshuto.

changed to --last-dir in dev branch fcf869c.

I've decided to not add -l just because I think it might be used for a different option in the future and --last-dir seems like a non-intuitive option to have a shorthand version for.

Also, updated the script so it would take timestamps into account when creating these files to reduce collisions.

function joshuto() {
	TIMESTAMP=$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')
	CWD_FILE="/tmp/$USER/joshuto-cwd-$TIMESTAMP"
	env joshuto --last-dir "$CWD_FILE" $@

	if [ -e "$CWD_FILE" ]; then
		JOSHUTO_CWD=$(cat "$CWD_FILE")
		rm "$CWD_FILE" && cd "$JOSHUTO_CWD"
	fi
}
