iterate

Iterate will repeat the command its given whenever it receives "run" on port 7821. This is useful if you want to have a global shortcut to repeat an arbitrary command.

I like to have a terminal on my second monitor where i repeatedly typecheck my code, using iterate, i don't have to manually focus this terminal window and press ↑+↵. Instead i can just press my global shortcut for running echo "run" | nc 127.0.0.1 7821 and trigger iterate.

This is especially useful when you don't have a lsp server or some sort of builtin --watch flag for your tool.

Example

iterate cargo check

How to trigger

echo "run" | nc 127.0.0.1 7821

Configuration

If you don't want iterate to print the exit code of your command, you can set the ITERATE_QUIET variable.

ITERATE_QUIET=1 iterate launch nukes
