Simple script manager for creating, running, and syncing scripts.

uv tool install taku-cli

or

uv tool install "taku-cli[bling]" # just adds some colors

• taku new <name> [--template/-t <name>] - Create a new script from template
• taku list - List all scripts, add -t to also list templates
• taku get <name> - Show script details
• taku edit <name> - Edit a script (auto-pushes to git if repository)
• taku run <name> [args...] - Run a script with optional arguments
• taku rm <name> - Remove a script (auto-pushes to git if repository)
• taku install <name|all> - Install script to ~/.local/bin
• taku uninstall <name|all> - Remove script from ~/.local/bin

Set the scripts directory:

export TAKU_SCRIPTS=~/my-scripts

Default: ~/scripts

Create templates in <scripts-dir>/.templates/ and use with:

taku new myapp --template python

Template resolution order:

1. <scripts-dir>/.templates/<template-name>
2. ./<template-name> (current directory)

Templates can use ${script_name} variable for substitution.

Example Python template (~/.scripts/.templates/python):

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = []
# ///


def main() -> None:
    print("Hello from $script_name!")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

If your scripts directory is a Git repository, taku will automatically commit and push changes whenever you edit or remove scripts. This keeps your changes synced, but to complete the auto-sync feature you also need to set up each machine to regularly pull the latest scripts.

1. Open your crontab:

   crontab -e

2. Add a line to pull updates every 15 minutes (adjust the path to your scripts directory):

   */15 * * * * cd /home/tobi/scripts && git pull >/dev/null 2>&1

1. Create a service file /etc/systemd/system/scripts-sync.service (adjust the path to your scripts directory):

   [Unit]
   Description=Synchronize scripts from remote
   
   [Service]
   Type=oneshot
   User=tobi
   WorkingDirectory=/home/tobi/scripts
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/git pull

2. Create a timer file /etc/systemd/system/scripts-sync.timer:

   [Unit]
   Description=Periodic synchronization of scripts
   
   [Timer]
   OnBootSec=1min
   OnUnitActiveSec=15min
   Persistent=true
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=timers.target

3. Enable the timer:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable --now scripts-sync.timer

This will run a git pull in your scripts directory every 15 minutes.
