Provide "dry-run" functionality #114

Open goanpeca opened 1 year ago

goanpeca commented 1 year ago

Checklist

What is the idea?

The current (and in development?) API supports the ability to create and remove shortcuts by pointing to a path or providing a dictionary of metadata.

Why is this needed?

In some cases it is nice to know what will happen without actually running the creation or removal process.

What should happen?

Provide a parameter or flag so that the result of create/remove is the same, but without actually executing the process of creation or removal in a similar vein to the "--dry-run" functionality of condaProvide a parameter or flag so that the result of create/remove is the same, but without actually executing the process of creation or removal in a similar vein to the "--dry-run" functionality of conda
