Usage💡

Crawl

rhz crawl

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c0f0d8f3-4d8f-4629-928b-7e811458a90a

to find potential apps to link (walks recursively) defaults:

• ~\Desktop
• ~\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
• C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

• Crawl is mostly to find gui apps and games
• there are more filtering and logic to prompt you only for relevant apps to link
• you will be prompted for new apps you didn't link to before (apps you said no before won't be prompted again)

you can also

rhz crawl "/PATH/TO/DIR"

Add

you can search for a single app across the entire file-system (ignores hidden folders and Windows/Microsoft ones)

rhz add NAME

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e3010698-b8d9-49d6-b820-4c173e914a4f

Path

same as add ~ just for adding into path

rhz path NAME

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09e8ebe3-89b9-4ee0-b908-40265935518b

[!Note]
For both the Path and Add functions
if the user have fzf installed in the machine and he didn't specify a search term
fzf will open to search for the recommended files

View

you can view all linked apps and their config

rhz view

it will print it in a formatted json

Edit

or maybe you want to edit the config

rhz edit

it will open the ~/.rhiza/ folder where you can:

• edit the config to not automatically re add the deleted items
• delete the url/lnk file from the src dir (after doing rhz run the shell and menu links will be removed as well)

Run

finally you can create the lnk files using

rhz run

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d3e529c3-fbc7-45dd-80f8-341c012fecaa

it will create the bin and src files and allow you to use your shortcuts in the shell and in the widnows menu! (⊞ Win)
