Issue: Error in Command Using cut for Extracting Tool Names from .tool-versions
Description:
An error occurs when using the cut command to extract tool names from the .tool-versions file. The command is intended to automate adding ASDF plugins based on the tools listed in the .tool-versions file.
Original Command:
cut -d " " .tool-versions -f1
Error Message:
usage: cut -b list [-n] [file ...]
cut -c list [file ...]
cut -f list [-s] [-w | -d delim] [file ...]
Cause:
The error occurs because the cut command arguments are incorrectly ordered. Specifically, the filename .tool-versions is placed before the -f1 option, leading cut to misinterpret the arguments and throw a usage error.
Corrected Command:
cut -d " " -f1 .tool-versions
Explanation:
The delimiter (-d " ") should be specified before the field (-f1).
The filename (.tool-versions) should be placed after all options.
This corrects the command, enabling it to properly extract the first field (tool names) from the .tool-versions file.
Example Usage with ASDF:
To automate adding ASDF plugins for each tool listed in .tool-versions:
for p in $(cut -d " " -f1 .tool-versions); do asdf plugin-add $p; done
