cmdgate provides a way to call cmd commands from other CLIs such as bash from WSL by starting a cmd process, piping stdin, and captuing output from stdout and stderr.

• Using scoop

scoop bucket add sky-bucket https://github.com/skyppex/sky-bucket
scoop install sky-bucket/cmdgate

• Build it your self

Make sure you have cargo and rustc installed. Then pull the repo onto your machine.

git clone https://github.com/Skyppex/cmdgate.git

or

gh repo clone Skyppex/cmdgate

Navigate to the path containing the cargo.toml file. Run cargo build --release and the executable will be dumped in the ./target/release folder. From there you have the binary and can execute it from your command line. :D It's recommended to add it to your PATH or copy it to a folder already in your PATH.

At any time when running the command you can use -h or --help to see all the options available.

• -s or --source -> Path to file to read from, otherwise it uses stdin
• -d or --destination -> Path to file to write to, otherwise it uses stdout
• -c or --command -> cmd command to run (REQUIRED)
• -v or --version -> This will print the version number

If you have some functionality you wish to add then make a PR. If you find a bug or want to discuss something about the tool make an issue out of it and we can discuss it :D
