paulprovost / wrapper

Simple wrapper script to execute a script when linked to from a bin directory in $PATH

Handles shell scripts and python scripts, with and without virtual environments.

Rationale

I was tired of littering my ~/local/bin directory with tons of stuff. Hence this wrapper, which lets you keep the particulars of a script out of sight and lets you run it.

Usage

• Clone this repository as a submodule in the main directory of the script to wrap

  cd <your script path>
  git submodule add ssh://[email protected]:222/paul/wrapper.git wrapper
      

• Link your executable to the wrapper executable

  ln -s <your script path>/wrapper/wrapper.py ~/local/bin/<your script name>
      

Platforms

• Linux and macOS
• On macOS, special consideration for scripts called via applications generated using Platypus.
