Ah, awesome.
I guess I'm starting to think, it would be great if clj supported something
like:
clj --install alias-name alias-url
So maybe in a repo, you could put a file of a given convention in the root
with a common name. Clj could pull it, it would contain a clj alias in it,
and clj would auto add it to your deps.edn file as an alias. You could add
a -g option to add it to your global deps.edn, if you wanted to "install"
it globally.
Nothing else would happen.
But then, you could run your newly "installed" clojure program by doing:
clj -A:alias-name args ...
If you omit the alias name, it could default to something specified in the
alias file.
What that alias url resolves too, I'm not sure. I'm thinking a git url to
an alias-install.edn file which contains something like:
{:default-alias-name alias-map-to-add-as-an-alias}
And similarly, you could add:
clj --uninstall alias-name
And it would remove the alias from your deps.edn, or if given -g, from your
global deps.edn config.
Ideally, it would remember the alias-url in the deps.edn file, so you could
run:
clj --update alias-name
Maybe there could even be a kind of global url repo, with a list of
registered alias names, so one could do:
clj --install alias-name
And it would know where to pull the alias-install.edn file from based on
some global repo of distributed Clojure programs.
I'd love this. Would seem like a pretty great way to deliver Clojure
programs, which does not require any bash script, adding anything to your
PATH, or having to edit a file.
So for clj-new, ideally one could do:
clj --install -g clj-new
And clj would take care of adding the alias for it in my global deps.edn.
But at the very least, without the alias registry, once could simply do:
clj --install -g clj-new https://github.com/seancorfield/clj-new.git
Which would auto-install the alias from a top level alias-install.edn file
inside the repo.
Something of the sort.
