Personal Bonzai Commandz

These days I prefer to maintain a single Go monolith command utility rather than a ton of shell scripts in whatever languages. In fact, I created Bonzai specifically for this sort of thing. I just curl down a single binary to whatever system I'm on and I have all of my favorite functionality on any device with zero compatibility hassles and installation dependencies. Everything just works, anywhere. To update just make sure you have an Internet connection and z update.

Install

Note: you'll have to remove go.work yourself if you want to use this build yourself (or clone all my structure the same way). I'm saving my go.work in this Go repo only because it is a personal build.

go install github.com/rwxrob/z@latest

I prefer to use z instead of setting up a multicall binary since the habits it builds into my muscle memory work on any operating system or device and it doesn't take too much space when using UNIX pipelines and such:

echo $(z isosec) $(z yaml2json quotes.yaml | jq -r .mad )

Tab Completion

To activate bash completion just use the complete -C option from your .bashrc or command line. There is no messy sourcing required. All the completion is done by the program itself.

complete -C z z

If you don't have bash or tab completion check use the shortcut commands instead.

Embedded Documentation

All documentation (like manual pages) has been embedded into the source code of the application. See the source or run the program with help to access it.
