💖 ISOGMT — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for isogmt, and honestly? it's giving containment queen. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

isogmt — run a GMT command or script in isolation mode 🧚

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

isogmt command

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen, bestie 💅 — isogmt runs one single GMT command or shell script in isolation mode.

what does that even mean tho?? 🫶 it means:

  • the files gmt.history and gmt.conf get read from all the usual spots — that's the current directory, ~/.gmt, or your home directory 👑
  • BUT any changes only get written into a temporary directory 🎀
  • and then that temporary directory gets removed after execution. gone. deleted. no crumbs. 💀

the name of that temporary directory? it's handed to your command or script as the environment variable GMT_TMPDIR. slay. 🌈

fr fr — nothing you do in there leaks back out into your real config. it's the little sandbox that could. 🏖️

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

run the shell script script.gmt in isolation mode:

isogmt sh script.gmt

  • gmt.conf
