Cross-Platform Scripts Management CLI written in go
About
Today we spend lots of time in terminal and there are lots of command and scripts that we have to remember and if we forget then we have to dig into history to look. hail lets you save all those useful and frequently used commands or scripts with some alias so you can use the alias to print or directly run the command in terminal.
hail has built in fuzzy search so you don’t even have to remember complete alias name, you can simply write few alphabets of alias and you will be presented with matching alias.
hail also lets you run scripts(python, bash, perl, sh, bat etc) directly from hail provided script starts with shebang. Please refer usage section for more details. This project is influenced by pier and thank you Nida for this beautiful logo.

Installation
Linux or Unix
# Download the latest version of hail from releases https://github.com/frzam/hail/releases/ and unzip the file
> wget -c https://github.com/frzam/hail/releases/download/v0.1.16/hail_0.1.16_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz
# Give execute permission to hail and move the binary into bin folder so it is accessible everywhere.
> chmod +x hail | mv hail /usr/local/bin/
# Test if hail is working properly.
> hail version
# Initialize hailconfig, it will create .hailconfig file under $HOME. If you want to
# create .hailconfig anywhere else then set env HAILCONFIG to that path.
> hail init <title> -i bash
Set up tab auto completion for bash.
Auto completion scripts are also available for fish and zsh.
# Generate bash script in a file
> hail completion bash > ~/.hail
# Open ~/.bashrc in editor
> vi ~/.bashrc
# Add below line in .bashrc
> source ~/.hail
# Refresh .bashrc by doing
> source ~/.bashrc
Windows
# Download the latest binary from releases https://github.com/frzam/hail/releases/
# Unzip the hail__Windows_x86_64.tar.gz file into *hail.exe*
# Place hail.exe into the PATH
# Test if hail is working properly. Open Command Prompt, Powershell or Git bash and Run.
> hail version
# Initialize hailconfig, it will create .hailconfig file under $USERPROFILE.
# If you want to create .hailconfig anywhere else then set env HAILCONFIG to that path
> hail init -t <title> -i bash
# Generate powershell completion script
> hail completion powershell
Usage
# Initialize a .hailconfig file with default interpreter set to bash
> hail init -t my-config -i bash
# Add a command and description with alias 'create-password'. Add Command in
# default editor tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9~!@#$%^&*_()+}{?></";.,[]=-' < /dev/urandom | fold -w 32 | head -n 1
> hail add -a create-password -d "create a password"
# Get a command with alias 'create-password'
> hail get create-password
# Edit a command with alias 'create-password'
> hail edit create-password
# Run a command with alias 'create-password'
> hail run create-password
# Delete an entry with alias 'create-password'
> hail rm create-password
# List all aliases with commands and descriptions.
> hail ls
# For more info on any sub command.
> hail <sub-command> -h
Run
We can directly run scripts which contains shebang #! and interpreter as first line.
For example:
#!/usr/bin/env python
user_input=12345
_rev=0
while(user_input>0):
dig=user_input%10
_rev=_rev*10+dig
user_input=user_input//10
print("The reversed number is :",_rev)
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello world"
hail creates a temp file and takes interpreter(In this case python or bash) from the first line and runs the file with given interpreter, later removes the file. If shebang is not present in the script then the default interpreter is taken from .hailconfig
To set default interpreter use
> hail config -n interpreter -v <interpreter-name>
Note: Run is still in beta stage. Please feel free to reach out to me in case of any doubt at farzamcse@gmail.com and contributions are very welcome :)
