FOREMAN-RUNNER(1)

πŸ’– FOREMAN-RUNNER(1) πŸ’–

okay bestie, this is a page from the Foreman Manual and it's about foreman-runner, and honestly? it's tiny but it's doing a lot. sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

foreman-runner β€” Run a command with exec.

like. that's it. that's the whole personality. it runs a command, and it does it with exec. iconic behavior fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

foreman-runner [options]... <command> [args]...

so the vibe is: you hand it a command and some args, and it runs them with exec β€” and if you want, it'll even change the directory first before it does all that. lowkey powerful, highkey simple πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's where the actual options live. there are two. TWO. we love a concise queen πŸŽ€

  • -d dir β€” changes directory to dir before running the thing. like a little teleport, but for your shell 🧚
  • -p β€” reads $HOME/.profile. that's it, that's the flag. it's giving "load up my environment real quick" πŸ’œ
no cap, that is genuinely the entire description section. don't come for me, I just report what the page says πŸ™ˆ

okay legal moment, everyone be serious for three seconds:

(yeah it ends with two periods in the original, we're keeping it exactly as-is because the rules are the rules and I'm not about to edit a copyright line 😭)


🫢 reminder bestie: every option, every path, every $HOME/.profile, every copyright line β€” all present and accounted for. I would never gatekeep technical details from you. never. it's not the vibe. ✨

and that's the whole page! Foreman 0.63.0, dated June 2013 β€” yes she's a little vintage, she's still slaying, and she's still out here exec-ing commands for you. go forth and -d somewhere cute πŸŒˆπŸ’–πŸŒΈ
