Executes the given command as a shell command and invokes the callback for the streamed response.

  • :cd - (since v1.11.0) the directory to run the command in

  • :stderr_to_stdout - redirects stderr to stdout, defaults to true

  • :env - a list of environment variables, defaults to []

  • :quiet - overrides the callback to no-op

printable_app_name()

View Source

Returns the printable app name.

This function returns the current application name, but only if the application name should be printed.

Calling this function automatically toggles its value to false until the current project is re-entered. The goal is to avoid printing the application name multiple times.
