# Garage

Garage is a shell command management tool. It includes:

* package management of shell commands

* multi-level namespacing of commands

* smart completion helper to find the commands that do what you want

## Smart completion

If you type:

    garage :find

This will bring up an ncurses-like interface with a blank text prompt. Garage looks through all existing commands,

and looks for strings (on a single line) that match the format:

    gfind:  ; 

The text typed by the user will match against , and if

executed will execute the commands as dictated in .

You can choose not to add a '; '. This results in

the command not being runnable, but will still appear in the

completion.

For example, let's say we want to create a gfind entry for grep. A couple examples would be:

    # no command_arguments, will complete but will not be executable

    # gfind: search for specific lines of text for files in a folder

    # with command_arguments, will complete and be executable

    # gfind: search for the text "foo" recursively in the current directory; grep -r 'foo' *

# installing garage

to install garage, there must be a shell function wrapper around

it. (applications can not explicitely execute commands)

There is some magic that happens here, but effectively you must add this to your .rc (.bashrc/.zrc/etc):

    function garage() {

        `PATH_TO_GARAGE/garage 3>&1 1>&2`

    }
