Usage Basics

After default installations Script-Tools is installed to /usr/share/script-tools and the executional script is symlinked to /usr/bin/st.

This lets you call the script just like any application

  • st
  • sudo st
  • su -c st

Of course, if you pass arguments to "su" you must encapsule the command and arguments into quotes.
Like: su -c "st section action argument"
Example: su -c "st tweak repo toggle fedora-rawhide"

For best experience, be sure to have executed "st conf ig" to set your favorite applications (text editor & file browser).

When you just start "st" in any terminal, you'll be shown the main menu showing you the raw sections available.

Where ever you see LABEL, i am refering to an abrevihation of any projecttitle you want to create.
As example i've used "st" as the LABEL for my Script-Tools configuration.

Now when you select any of these options, you could append it as an argument.
So you start "st" and then select "dev", the direct access would be:
st dev

So now inside "dev" you select "prj" and append this as an argument as well...
st dev prj

Where you select "new"
st dev prj theme new

Since you are in the menu now, you are asked to enter a name.
Of course you could have passed a LABEL
st dev prj new LABEL
Be sure to have LABEL short, you are asked to provide a long project-name as well!

This is the way how the direct calls are 'created', and it works with just any selection until you see a header with a version number (white background line with (0.x)).
