So what exactly is the added value here? Is it a manager for shortcuts? Persistence?
- ryanmjacobs 6y agoPersistence between alternate shells is pretty nifty though. I think that's the main gimmick.
- verdverm 6y agoQuickly editing, reloading, and refreshing from anywhere. Also the persistence between shells and a dot file loading. Another nice thing is you environment bar secrets are only exposed during command execution when they are needed. (See how the .jumpfiles.secrets.sh is used) It's also largely an experimentation ground for some upcoming Hof features.
- verdverm 6y agoI missed the "ah ha" moment of your chain example. Very cool! I'm not sure how I have never seen or tried that ad hocly before. Thanks!
