Better list of installed programs #12

Open ampinzonv opened 7 months ago

CONTEXT If one want to check which BB tools are installed the user has to write "bb" in the command line and hit TAB twice, so it displays all programs that start with "bb". This is the default behaviour in UNIX for CLI completion.

ISSUE

  1. If a external programs begins with the same extension it will be also shown.
  2. Tools are sorthed alphabetically, hard to track what you need.
  3. As the number of executables growth, number "2" above gets worst.

SOLUTION To implement a "bb_doc" script, that handles that situtation. Some ideas are:

  1. Categorize installed tools based on BioBASH modules.
  2. Pretty syntax highlighting for everything.
  3. Get the list from "exec" folder.
