JAP – Modular Terminal Automation Framework

Docs Plugins GitHub Topic

JAP is a modular terminal framework that was created because I needed a flexible and expandable system for my own workflow. The goal was to automate recurring tasks, standardize the working environment, and at the same time keep it open for individual extensions.

Motivation

I created JAP because no existing tool offered me the freedom and structure I wanted.
I wanted a terminal plugin system that:

  • works according to my ideas,
  • is easy to expand,
  • speeds up my daily workflow, and
  • runs smoothly both locally and on servers (Linux).

Over time, more and more features and small automations were added. At some point, I had to decide: Do I turn JAP into a large, monolithic tool - or do I break it down into modular components?
I opted for the modular approach.

Installation:

cd ~ && bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://japzsh.com/install.sh)"
