To achieve this, a group of paths to be translated are defined with shell globs. These shell globs, known as a lightning <em>bolt</em>, are then applied to commands to produce functions. In addition to translating basenames to full paths, lightning <em>functions</em> can autocomplete these basenames, resolve conflicts if they have the same name, leave any non-basename arguments untouched, and autocomplete directories above and below a basename. To make bolts shareable between users and functions easier to create, lightning has <em>generators</em>. A <em>generator</em> generates filesystem-specific globs for a bolt. Lightning comes with some default generators. Users can make their own generators with generator plugins placed under ~/.lightning/generators/. </p> <p> <a id="documentation_link" href="doc/index.html">Read documentation.</a></p> </p> <h2>Download</h2> <p> You can download this project in either <a href="https://github.com/cldwalker/lightning/zipball/master">zip</a> or <a href="https://github.com/cldwalker/lightning/tarball/master">tar</a> formats, or clone the project with <a href="http://git-scm.com">Git</a>: <pre>$ git clone git://github.com/cldwalker/lightning</pre> </p> <h2>Issues</h2> <p>Issues, bugs, feature requests? <a href="https://github.com/cldwalker/lightning/issues">Please report them on github.</a> <h2>Links</h2> <p>Check out <a href="http://tagaholic.me/blog.html#*:*=lightning">blog posts related to this project</a>.</p> <h2>License</h2> <p>MIT</p> <h2>Authors</h2> <p>Gabriel Horner (gabriel.horner [AT] gmail.com)</p> <div class="footer"> Get the source code on GitHub : <a href="https://github.com/cldwalker/lightning">cldwalker/lightning</a> </div> <div class='clearfix'></div> </div> </div> <div id='footer'> Copyright © 2010 Gabriel Horner.
