This gif is showing [wt-editor-cli](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/wt-editor-cli), a prototype of wte written in node.js. The goal is to create an .exe that can run either as a cli as shown and or host a local static serve and use [json-editor](https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor) to function as a [gui](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/wt-editor-gui).\n\n![wt-editor-cli-showcase](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25123512/68077919-ba2a4980-fdcc-11e9-879f-6e1fecb6bb20.gif)\n\n|Info| |\n|-------|---------|\n| GitHub | [![GitHub version](https://badge.fury.io/gh/BlackPhlox%2Fwte.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/gh/BlackPhlox%2Fwte) |\n| Twitter     | [![Twitter Follow](https://img.shields.io/twitter/follow/darkphlox?style=social)](https://twitter.com/darkphlox)      |\n\n## Related repositories\n  - [wt-editor-cli](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/wt-editor-cli) - Real-time command-line editor for Windows Terminal settings\n  - [wt-editor-gui](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/wt-editor-gui) - A graphical user interface version of wt-editor-cli\n  - [nateshmbhat's windows-terminal-tweaker](https://github.com/nateshmbhat/windows-terminal-tweaker) - A electron-based windows terminal editor\n\n# Prerequisites\n  - Running Windows 1903 (build \u003e= 10.0.18362.0) or later\n  - Have installed Windows Terminal Version 1.0.1401.0 or later\n  - Have installed Rust 1.44.0 or later\n  \n# Setup\n\nBefore doing anything I will highly recommend that you backup you settings.json prior to working with this project.\n\nWhen running src/setup.bat\n\n- Generates a config.json, which locates the folder of your settings.json (which is located here: ```%appdata%\\..\\Local\\Packages\\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\```)\n- Creates a backup of your current settings (called settings.json.pre.wte.backup in the same folder)\n- Prompted to allow administrative rights to powershell, this is for setting a environment variable to the projects folder. As it is not setup yet, then you can easily decline and run the project using ```cargo run```. The environment variable can be found by running ```powershell -window minimized -command \"SystemPropertiesAdvanced\"``` and clicking on Environment variables \u003e System Variables \u003e Path \u003e Scroll to the buttom.\n- Creates a .batfile that calls ```cargo run``` when typing ```wte``` (Granted that the environment variable has been set)\n\n## config.json\nWTE uses config.json to know what settings.json-file to edit. To debug I would recommend copying your settings.json and changing the settings_folder_path for debug perpose shown below. Default is to your folder of your settings.json\n\n```\n{ \n    \"settings_folder_path\":\"C:/Users/USERNAME/Repos/wte/src/\", \n    \"asset_path\":\"...\", \n    \"questionColor\":\"lightgray\", \n    \"errorColor\":\"red\" \n} \n```\n\nWIP\n\n## Additionally step\n  - If you are running using the [Linux-Subsystem](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) you can add `alias wte='cmd.exe /c wte'` in your `~/.bashrc` file.\n\n\n# Contribution\n\nAny contribution is appreciated, their are no formalities, just create a pull request.\n\n### Creating Pull Requests\n  Push your commit to get it back up to your fork: git push origin HEAD\n  Visit Github, click handy “Pull request” button that it will make upon noticing your new branch.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblackphlox%2Fwte","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fblackphlox%2Fwte","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblackphlox%2Fwte/lists"}
