[Feature request] hooks for scripts

Open andrewcrook opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Would it be possible to add a feature to run scripts before and after certain events I think this would have to be configure in a config file using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Some of the hooks could be

  • pre-upgrade
  • post-upgrade
  • pre-install
  • post-install
  • pre-uninstall
  • post-uninstall
  • pre-switch
  • post-switch

these could trigger the execution of scripts (python, ruby, pearl, apples script, swift using hash bang, apps (apps or helpers) or shortcuts .

These could provide many solutions to solve problems some examples

  • clean ups
  • back ups
  • change paths or variables
  • create/remove links
  • update/install/uninstall other dev apps
  • download code, libraries, apps and plugins
  • Use third party notifications and chat systems
  • extra logging
  • communicate with web services
  • x-callback other apps
  • Apple Shortcuts
  • ci/cd

They could optionally pass some basic arguments such as type, short name , bundle id, version, log name, path , url , etc

maybe this will help

XXXXXXX If you don't have the c compliator, install it.(gcc or clang)

I dont install from random links. Gives me dodgy vibes.
Not sure how this would help anyway if its not xcodes

Update yes I don't fall for that rubbish
