• Have Node.js 12 installed or later
• Have npm (Comes with Node.js)

Setup

• Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/BlackPhlox/wt-editor-cli.git or
  using npm install -g wt-editor-cli
• (Important) If you already have configured your settings.json, I highly recommend you backup your file, just in case. The file can be found here: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\
• Go into the downloaded folder cd wt-editor-cli if via git and %appdata%\npm\node_modules\wt-editor-cli if via npm
• Run setup.bat
• Run wte

Additionally step

• If you are running using the Linux-Subsystem you can add alias wte='cmd.exe /c wte' in your ~/.bashrc file.

Configuration

When setup.bat has run, a config.json file has been generated. There is currently only 3 properties you can change: assetPath(cli-explorer-selector's default path), questionColor and errorColor (Both is parsed using chalk):

{ 
   "jsonPath":"(Your appdata path)/../Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/settings.json", 
   "assetPath":"(Your appdata path)/../Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe/RoamingState", 
   "questionColor":"lightgray", 
   "errorColor":"red" 
}
