**MUP (aka: 'Menu Up')**
========================

[](#mup-aka-menu-up)

#### **What is it?**

[](#what-is-it)

It's a bash script that generates a selection menu from a simple configuration file.

[![it is what you want it to be](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0b2d62dd5c25df05b29cee5fc28282e98f56b7a942893e5ab28c45603e97e40c/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f665668533452742e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0b2d62dd5c25df05b29cee5fc28282e98f56b7a942893e5ab28c45603e97e40c/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f665668533452742e706e67)

**Config**:

```
[Cache: Flush && Clean]
exec=php bin/magento cache:flush && php bin/magento cache:clean

[Setup: Upgrade]
exec=php bin/magento setup:upgrade

...

```

#### **Why is it?**

[](#why-is-it)

Because it's easier than making an alias or copying and pasting commands.

#### **Installation**

[](#installation)

You can install via composer with `composer require npoole81/mup`

#### **Usage**

[](#usage)

Just type 'mup' and you'll be given the default menu which you can customize or override.

```
mup

```

#### **SubMenus**

[](#submenus)

You can use MUP recursively and create sub-menus.

```
[Main Item]
exec=mup -c sub-menu.conf

```

and then in sub-menu.conf

```
[Sub Menu Item]
exec=date

```

#### **Callbacks**

[](#callbacks)

In the config entry, you can provide a "callback" command which is used after a menu item is completed.

```
[Sub Menu Item]
exec=date
callback=mup

```

In this example, after executing the command `date`, MUP will call itself (with the default menu).

If no callback is set, after a menu item is selected MUP will exit.

**Supported Parameters**
------------------------

[](#supported-parameters)

##### **Config File**

[](#config-file)

By default MUP looks for $EXECUTABLE\_NAME-menu.conf in the same directory as the bash file. That is, if you rename '*mup*' to '*foobar*' it will look for '*foobar-menu.conf*'.

You can pass the conf parameter (-c|--conf) to MUP to specify the config file to use.

` mup -c /home/$user/configFile.conf`

##### **Auto Execute**

[](#auto-execute)

You can pass the execute parameter (-e|--execute) to MUP to specify a series of selections to run sequentially.

` mup -e 1,2,3`

NOTE: This method does not execute callbacks.

MUP will still confirm the commands it's about to run.

##### **Auto Execute: No interaction**

[](#auto-execute-no-interaction)

You can pass the no-interaction parameter (-n|--no-interaction) along with --execute to not require confirmation before running commands.

` mup -e 1,2,3 -n`

**Other Stuff**
---------------

[](#other-stuff)

##### **Local Config File**

[](#local-config-file)

MUP will look for the file .mup/mup-menu.conf relative to the current working directory and by default use it for the config file.

You can bypass this by passing the config (-c|--config) parameter the value 'DEFAULT'.

` mup -c default`
