mxcl/mash

mash info

Open the pkgx.dev listing page for a program.

Usage

$ mash info <program>

# for funsies, open a random package
$ mash info --random

Note, fully qualified package names will not work, eg mash info git-scm.org.

mash outdated

List all installed pkgx packages that are outdated.

Usage

mash outdated

mash ensure

Ensure a command is available. If a system command is found it is used, otherwise the command is run via pkgx. Optionally can output env-style.

Note

We are macOS Xcode Command Line Tools aware, so if the CLI tools are installed and you ask for eg. git or python, we will use the Xcode CLT version, but if they are not we know not to execute /usr/bin/git since it isn’t going to work.

Usage

$ mash ensure git status
# runs system-installed git with arg `status` unless there is none, in which
# case uses pkgx to invoke `git status`.

$ eval "$(mash ensure +git +cargo +npm)"
# imports the above commands into your shell environment

# same as the above
$ eval "$(mash ensure --env git cargo npm)"

mash transcribe

Transcribe YouTube videos fast with local AI.

Details

Locally transcribe a remote YouTube video using yt-dlp, ffmpeg, whisper.cpp downloading the whisper model using huggingface-cli.

Usage

$ mash transcribe <YOUTUBE-URL>
# ^^ you probs need to quote that URL

Additional arguments are passed to whisper.cpp, eg. --no-timestamps or -nt for no timestamps. Use pkgx whisper.cpp --help for more options.

whisper.cpp is very noisy, you can hide all the informational messages by sending stderr to null:

mash transcribe youtu.be/xiq5euezOEQ 2>/dev/null

Redirecting stdout to a file means that file contains only the transcript:

mash transcribe youtu.be/xiq5euezOEQ -nt > transcription.txt

 

mash cronic

Cronic is an old-school shell script that helps control the most annoying feature of cron: unwanted emailed output, or "cram" (cron spam).

Usage

$ crontab -l

 0 12 * * * /path/to/mash cronic /path/to/your/script.sh

mash upgrade

Ensures the latest version of all installed pkgx packages are installed. Older versions are not removed (see mash prune).

Usage

$ mash upgrade

$ mash upgrade git
# ^^ only upgrade git

mash magic

Miss the old pkgx^1 magic? Here you go.

eval "$(mash magic)"
