binx

Alias manager for executables. Run binaries by short names instead of full paths, with support for script installation and desktop integration.

Install

git clone <repository-url>
cd binx
cargo build --release
cp target/release/binx ~/.binx/binx

Binx auto-installs itself to ~/.binx/binx on first run and adds to PATH.

Uso

Registrar e executar

# Register an executable (prompts for alias name)
binx /opt/myapp/bin/myapp

# Run by alias
binx myapp arg1 arg2

Instalar wrapper para shell

binx /opt/myapp/bin/myapp --install
# Now run directly:
myapp arg1 arg2

Criar entrada desktop

binx /opt/myapp/bin/myapp --desktop

Remover alias

binx myapp --remove

Configuração

Aliases são armazenados em ~/.config/binx.json:

{
  "aliases": {
    "myapp": {
      "path": "/opt/myapp/bin/myapp",
      "script": "/home/user/.binx/myapp",
      "desktop": "/home/user/.local/share/applications/binx_myapp.desktop"
    }
  }
}

Os campos script e desktop são adicionados ao usar --install e --desktop.
