#port-wrapper

port-wrapper is a script for MacPorts, aimed mainly at maintainers, trying to ease their workflow.

What's included?

Right now the wrapper supports only ZSH and has:

• Aliases, defined in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/port-wrapper/aliases.conf
• Auto-sudo on subcommands requiring it
• Remembers last port expression, recall using '.'
• Other scripts:
  • port-copy-checksum: prints and copies to system clipboard the port checksum
  • port-exists: Prints error message if supplied port does not exist (used for plumbing)
  • port-lg: Port log with pager
  • port-maintainer-update: This should streamline simple port updates
  • port-svn-commit: easy way to commit a port file
  • port-svn-diff: easy way to diff a port file
• Shell functions:
  • port-cd: simple way to cd to port directory
