This project is a Rust-based rewrite of a Bash script that provides a simple terminal menu to execute commands stored in .menuitem files. It allows users to select a command to execute from a dynamically generated menu based on the .menuitem files present in the project's directory. Additionally, users can add new commands to the menu.

• Dynamically generates a menu from .menuitem files in the current directory.
• Executes commands selected by the user.
• Allows users to add new commands through a simple interface.

• Rust (latest stable version recommended)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bashmenu_rust.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd bashmenu_rust

3. Build the project:

   cargo build --release

4. strip the binary (optional):

   strip target/release/bashmenu_rust

To run BashMenu Rust, use the following command from the project directory:

cargo run

Follow the on-screen prompts to select a command to execute, add a new command, or quit the menu.

To add a new command, select the "new" option from the menu, then enter the command and a nickname when prompted. The command will be saved as a .menuitem file in the current directory and will be available in the menu the next time BashMenu Rust is run.

Create a single letter alias to open the menu.
