Open project in CLI

[feitzi]

Hi @saurabhdaware, very nice tool :)

Is it possible to add a way to jump directly in the CLI to the project root? So instead of open an IDE just jump to the project path in the current command line?

I am not sure if I fully understood this, Do you mean having a command like pm jump which will be equivalent to cd /path/to/the/folder without actually opening them? I don't really think so it is worth having a different command for this since opening a project in IDE will also open their integrated terminals with the same path also I don't really want to flood projectman with too many features.

If you meant something else please do let me know. I am closing this for now in future if other people ask for this feature too then maybe I'll reopen this.

Thanks for creating issue do create issues if you have any other suggestions as well :D

closing this for now.

yes, exactly something like jump
Often I just want to search for something or execute a command within a project. Opening an IDE for them is mostly overkill.

For now, I guess I will keep this focused on opening and saving projects so maybe not now though thanks for your input 😄

So I checked how we can implement this and apparently we can't simply use exec('cd path') since it runs commands in separate shell and the only way I found to achieve this is to create a shell script and then call that script from nodejs which would be super hacky to implement and will kind of ruin the scalability :(

cd $(pm path) added as an alternative for this in #9
Thank you for your suggestion @feitzi 🎉
