cd on quit

rovr can be configured to change the current directory to the directory you were when you quit it.

how it works

when cd_on_quit is enabled, rovr will write the path of its current directory to a file named rovr_quit_cd_path in your config directory right before it exits.

a small script or function in your shell’s configuration file can then read this file, cd into the saved directory, and then delete the file.

enabling cd_on_quit

to enable this feature, you need to set the cd_on_quit option to true in your config.toml file.

config.toml

[settings]
cd_on_quit = true

shell configuration

After enabling the feature, you need to add a function to your shell’s configuration file. This function will wrap the rovr command.

bash / zsh

rovr () {
    "rovr" "$@"
    cd_path_file="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rovr/rovr_quit_cd_path"
    if [ -f "$cd_path_file" ]; then
        cd "$(cat "$cd_path_file")"
        rm -f "$cd_path_file"
    fi
}

fish

function rovr
    command rovr $argv
    set cd_path_file "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rovr/rovr_quit_cd_path"
    if test -f "$cd_path_file"
        cd (cat "$cd_path_file")
        rm -f "$cd_path_file"
    end
end

powershell

function rovr {
    param ( [string[]]$Params )
    & rovr.exe $Params
    $cd_path_file = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\rovr\rovr_quit_cd_path"
    if (Test-Path $cd_path_file) {
        Set-Location -Path (Get-Content $cd_path_file)
        Remove-Item $cd_path_file
    }
}

Powershell may prevent you from running such functions, so you may have to run

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine

for it to work. For more information on Set-ExecutionPolicy, refer to its docs

Note

the path to the rovr executable and the rovr_quit_cd_path file might need to be adjusted based on your specific installation and system configuration.
