Introduction

MMT (Manage Multiple Task) is a tool that automatically opens multiple panes to execute multiple commands in MacOS + iTerm2. It only needs to be defined once and run permanently.

Installation

npm i -g mmt

Use

Case1: Single project with multiple repositories

When your project has two projects, front and back, you always need to remember multiple commands or multiple directories, and opening multiple windows will always be troublesome.

your front end project：case1-front, launch command: npm run start

your backend project: case1-backend, launch command: npm run dev

Declaration using mmt:

> cd path/case1-front
> mmt add case1 start
> cd path/case1-backend
> mmt add case1 dev

In any command window:

> mmt run case1

The effect is the following(Automatically open multiple windows and execute commands in the corresponding windows):

Case2: Multiple projects and multiple repositories

When you maintain a project with multiple technology stacks alone, you can't remember all the startup command. The start command for a Vue project may be npm run serve, while for a React project it is npm run start, and some projects may also be npm run dev. Using mmt can smooth out this difference and you don't have to memorize your project path.

your project1: projec1-vue, launch command npm run serve your project2: projec2-react, launch command npm run start

Declaration using mmt:

> cd path/projec1-vue
> mmt add project1 serve
> cd path/projec2-react
> mmt add project2 start

In any command window:

> mmt run project1
> mmt run project2

The effect is the following:

Case3: Script alias

When you want to run some pipeline work synchronously, you can use the add-sync. For example, one of my local projects needs to depend on two container environments e8a47b8aed91 and e0d433a26388. At this time, running mmt will automatically execute the command。

> mmt add-sync project1-dep "docker restart e8a47b8aed91"
> mmt add-sync project1-dep "docker restart e0d433a26388"

In any command window:

> mmt run project1-dep

API

add

Support platform: Mac/Linux

Add an asynchronous task, the task will start with a new tab page.

Common scenarios:

When we have a full stack service, we need to start the frontend and backend. At this time, we need to switch tab pages every time, and then start two services.

For example, my other project "Mujicv" is a full-stack project. At this time, I can do this if I want to quickly start the front-end and back-end.

mmt add muji "cd frontend/path && npm run start";
mmt add muji "cd server/path && npm run dev";

mmt run muji

At this point, two new tab pages will be opened to run the front-end and back-end services.

add-sync

Add a synchronization task, the task will be executed directly on the current page.

Common scenarios:

For example, whenever we need to switch projects, there are some pre-made environments and mmt can help us handle those situations. For example, one of my local projects needs to depend on two container environments e8a47b8aed91 and e0d433a26388. At this time, running mmt will automatically execute the command.

mmt add-sync start-docker "docker restart e8a47b8aed91";
mmt add-sync start-docker "docker restart e0d433a26388";

mmt run start-docker

> docker restart e8a47b8aed91
> docker restart e0d433a26388

ls

List what commands the current task has.

mmt ls muji

> cd frontend/path && npm run start
> cd server/path && npm run dev

rm

Delete a task.

mmt rm <task>

mmt rm muji
> delete muji task success!

run

Run a task.

mmt run <task>

mmt run muji

export

mmt export <task>

Export all configurations.

mmt export all

Export a single configuration.

mmt export muji
