Feature Request: cli/terminal commands

[ladrua]

Would be awesome if we had the posibility to bash script the functions of Amethyst :)

It’s not an overall goal for the project, but it’s not a bad idea and would be pretty handy. This might be a good task for a contributor to take on.

@ianyh I'd like to try. Any idea where one might start attacking this task?

Look at main.swift for the entry point to the application. We use it for the debug info command as an example, but would probably want to use a framework for parsing command line options and such to make it more robust.

If it's okay with you, I can use rust to write it. They already have this amazing library called clap for parsing command line options and such.

Ah, I see what you mean there after looking at the main.swift file. I'll think about and approach and discuss it with you before I go on.
