Changelog for remembering.

Unreleased

0.3.0 - 2022-11-25

Added

Inference of profiles

Changed

Remove -c COMMAND option

Instead of requiring a -c COMMAND option explicitly, instead receive the commands to be ran as the "rest" argument to remembering, stored in $@. The usage changes from:

$ remembering -p a-profile -c 'command $arg1 arg2'

to:

$ remembering -p a-profile -- command $arg1 arg2

The upsides are: 1. no need to worry about nested quotes: requiring a -c COMMAND option forced one to wrap the command and args inside quotes, and the quotation used influenced the command to be ran; 1. one less option to know about: instead of having to remember what is the specific letter used for the command, just prefix the command with remembering; 1. simpler and more powerful composition: wrapping commands without quoting them allows one to use many of such tools in combination:

$ time nice -n10 timeout 3 remembering sleep 5

The equivalent with -c COMMAND would be:

$ time -c 'nice -n10 -c "timeout 3 -c 'remembering -c "sleep 5"'"'

But instead of alternating between single and double quotes, properly quoting them at each level.

Fixed

Improve speed

Rewrite to make it faster

Changed

Use of $XDG_DATA_HOME

When the environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME is defined, remembering now appends a trailing /remembering to it instead of start writing files to where the environment variable points to.

This is in conformance with the XDG Base Directory Specification.

Exit code

When remembering encounters an unrecognized option, it now exits with 2 instead of ignoring it.
