Favorite Commands

Save, organize, and quickly run your frequently used commands!

The Favorites feature lets you save commands you run regularly, so you can execute them with a single click instead of setting them up every time.

Getting Started

Saving a Command as Favorite

  1. In the Scripts tab, set up your command:
  2. Select a script from the dropdown
  3. Enter any arguments

  4. (Optional) Enter a session name

  5. Click the "Save as Favorite" button (⭐)

  6. A dialog will appear asking for a name for your favorite:

  7. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "deploy", "backup", "daily-report")
  8. Click Save

That's it! Your favorite is now saved and ready to use.

Running a Favorite

  1. Click the Favorites tab in the dashboard

  2. Find your favorite in the list

  3. Click the ▶️ Run button to execute the command

The command will: - Start a new tmux session with the name fav-{your-favorite-name} - Automatically increment the usage counter - Appear in your sessions list

Managing Favorites

Use the search box at the top of the Favorites tab to filter by: - Favorite name - Command content

Edit

  1. Click the ✏️ Edit button on any favorite
  2. Update the name or command
  3. Click Save

Delete

  1. Click the 🗑️ Delete button on any favorite
  2. Confirm the deletion
  3. Your favorite is removed

Favorite Statistics

For each favorite, you'll see: - Usage count: How many times you've run this favorite - Last used: When this favorite was last executed (if ever)

The Favorites tab sorts commands by most-used first, so your go-to commands appear at the top.

Features

✅ Persistent storage - All favorites are saved in Redis and survive application restarts
✅ Quick search - Filter favorites by name or command content
✅ Usage tracking - See which commands you use most
✅ Duplicate prevention - Can't accidentally create two favorites with the same name
✅ Full command preservation - Saves the complete execution command with all arguments
✅ Named sessions - Each favorite execution gets a descriptive session name

Examples

Save a Deploy Command

  1. Select deploy.sh script
  2. Add arguments: --production --verify
  3. Name it: "deploy-prod"
  4. Click "Save as Favorite"

Later, just click the Run button to deploy to production with one click!

Save a Data Processing Pipeline

  1. Select process.py script
  2. Add arguments: --input=/data/raw --output=/data/processed --format=csv
  3. Name it: "process-daily"
  4. Click "Save as Favorite"

Save a Health Check

  1. Select health-check.sh script
  2. Add arguments: --services=api,db,cache
  3. Name it: "check-services"
  4. Click "Save as Favorite"

Tips & Tricks

💡 Naming convention: Use descriptive names with hyphens (e.g., backup-daily, test-suite, build-prod)

💡 Edit instead of recreate: If you want to modify a command slightly, edit the favorite rather than creating a new one

💡 Search shortcuts: - Search for python to find all Python-based favorites - Search for --prod to find production commands

💡 Usage tracking: Check the usage count to identify which commands are actually being used vs which are rarely run

Under the Hood

Favorites are stored in Redis using the following structure:

  • favorite_id: Unique UUID identifier
  • name: User-friendly display name
  • command: Full execution command
  • created_at: When the favorite was created
  • last_used_at: Last execution timestamp
  • use_count: Number of times run

This ensures your favorites are persistent, searchable, and always available.
