lineman

Description

Lineman traverses directory recursively and run command by conditions.

For example supposed there a many haskell projects with building files (like .stack-work or dist-newstyle) that take enormous space of disk. It takes time to purge them all manually. The lineman is able to carry out this job automatically. All you need is to configure lineman's config and run it.

Lineman's config

Lineman uses dhall configuration. See Config example.

Term policy

• Action - a single command that run in a directory due to particular conditions
• Conditions describe the directory has to have to run action
• EntryPoint is a parent directory where lineman starts seeking for targets
• Target is a directory that aligns to condition
• Swarm is a bunch of actions that match to condition
• Hive is a collection of swarms

Features

• Both actions in a swarm and swarms in a hive can be run concurrently or successively
• Both actions and swarms can be interspersed with breaks
• Lineman starts seeking targets from entryPoint recursively and finds directories that have particular subdirectories, files or extensions. And then it run Action in found targets.

Use cases

• Clear build artefact in bunch of projects.
