Repository files navigation

A lightweight tool togenerate user-friendly GUIs for command-line applications (CLI) using JSON-based configurations. Perfect for users who prefer graphical interfaces over terminal commands.

• Convert CLI arguments into intuitive GUI forms (checkboxes, dropdowns, file pickers).
• JSON-driven configuration — describe CLI parameters once, reuse forever.
• Run applications directly from the GUI (NW.js/HTA only).

Download and unzip a copy ofthe entire repository.

Choose one of these methods:

Create a JSON file describing your CLI app’s arguments. Follow theJSON Schemaor use a pre-made configuration from a trusted source (e.g., community repositories or official tool documentation).

1. Open the tool (NW.js/HTA/browser).
2. Click"Path to CLI arguments description" and select your JSON file.
3. The GUI will auto-generate input fields based on the JSON.

1. Fill in the GUI fields.
2. Click"Generate Command Line" to preview the CLI command.
3. (NW.js/HTA only):
   • Specify the executable path.
   • Click"Execute" to run the CLI app with your parameters.

• ⚠️ Security Note: Before executing,always verify the generated command in the text field. Proceed only if you:
  • Understandexactly what the command does.
  • Confirm it matches your intent (e.g., no unexpected file deletions or risky operations).

Use these tools to create/edit JSON configurations:

• JSON Editor Online
• VS Code with JSON Schema

You can obtain CLI argument details through:

1. Built-in help (run in terminal):

   your_app --help# Most Unix toolsyour_app /?# Common on Windows

2. Official documentation:
   Check the application’s:
   • Official website
   • Source repository (e.g., GitHubREADME.md orman pages)

Browsers are designed to display web pages, not to execute arbitrary executable files like .exe. UseNW.js orHTA for full functionality.
