Create your own custom cmd commands

Windows only

Create for yourself

1. Navigate to any path on your computer, for instance, your user's folder C:\users\USERNAME\

   1.1 or just enter %userprofile%

2. At your specified path, create a folder like my-custom-cmd. In there you start creating you .bat-files

3. Now you need to register the created folder to your environment variables on windows

   3.1 I would suggest adding it to the already existing PATH variable

   3.2 If you don't know how just add your windows version to this google search ;)

4. /Woohoo/ now just re-/open your console of choice and be happy about your custom commands!

   4.1 How? Just type in the names of the created .bat-files like > gc if you have a gc.bat file ++PS: I would suggest also making this a git-repo for yourself, as git repos are awesome for common reasons++

Use this repo as a starting point

1. Follow the Create for yourself section until step #3
2. Clone this repo into there like git clone https://github.com/mt-webdev/custom-cmd-commands.git
3. Keep following the Create for yourself instructions from step #3.1

Bonus

As you can see in the files deploy-a1.bat and deploy-a2.bat I am executing some .ps1 (PowerShell) scripts. I use those for some more complex scenarios and it works just fine!

To print your existing custom commands onto the screen like in the screenshot at the top have a look into custom-cmd.bat. Also i created a code-cmd command which launches my editor of choice (VS Code) to easily modify my commands.

Using something like the mentioned > gc command requires you to specify a parameter which is passed into the .bat-file. For further readings check out these super old MSF Docs or just search for it.

I really appreciate your support and interest in making every one of us more productive and efficient in using the console. If you feel like i am missing some awesome shortcut feel free to hit me up with a PR :)

Also, I am aware of some better 'All-In-One' solutions but I like having this setup as my backup which I can use on any PC, without much of an effort.
