• ✏️ Easy to write rules: You don't need to know Rust. The rules are written in a TOML file!
• 🎯 Accurate results: Suggestions are verified before being prompted to the user, no sudo suggestions when you are using doas!
• 🤖 AI Support: AI comes in aid when there is no rule for your error!
• 🪶 Tiny binary size: Not even 1MB! Approximately 1MB with all optional features!

How to Pay Respects

Please follow the instruction for your shell:

Bash / Zsh / Fish

Auto aliasing (optional custom alias can be added after --alias):

eval "$(pay-respects bash --alias)"
eval "$(pay-respects zsh --alias)"
pay-respects fish --alias | source

Additional arguments:

• --nocnf: Disables command_not_found handler

Manual aliasing (deprecated, do not use):

alias f="$(pay-respects bash)"
alias f="$(pay-respects zsh)"
alias f="$(pay-respects fish)"

Nushell

Add the following output to your configuration file:

pay-respects nushell [--alias <alias>]

Or save it as a file:

pay-respects nushell [--alias <alias>] | save -f ~/.pay-respects.nu

and source from your config file:

source ~/.pay-respects.nu

PowerShell

Append the following to your profile:

pay-respects pwsh [--alias <alias>] [--nocnf] [>> $PROFILE] # use the pipe to directly append it to your profile if you like

Custom initialization for arbitrary shell

pay-respects only requires 2 environment variables to function:

• _PR_SHELL: The binary name of the current working shell.
• _PR_LAST_COMMAND: The last command.

pay-respects echos back, if applicable, a cd command that can be evaluated by the current working shell.

General example:

eval $(_PR_SHELL=sh _PR_LAST_COMMAND="git comit" pay-respects)

You can now press F to Pay Respects!

Installing

Install from your package manager if available:

For Arch Linux / Arch Linux ARM users, you can install from Arch Linux CN Repository:

sudo pacman -S pay-respects

Or install compiled binaries from GitHub releases with the install script:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iffse/pay-respects/main/install.sh | sh

Compile from source (any OS/architecture)

This installation requires you to have Cargo (the Rust package manager) installed.

Install from crates.io, features are optional

cargo install pay-respects --all-features

Clone from git and install, suitable for adding custom compile-time rules:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/iffse/pay-respects
cd pay-respects
cargo install --path .

Features:

• runtime-rules: Read rules in runtime
• request-ai: Request AI for suggestion
• libcurl: Dynamically link libcurl for requests, which requires openssl at compile time
  • Only matters to package maintainers, as by turning it off gives fewer headaches when cross-compiling
