Vento is a utility which allows you to manage your files as if you're playing an old text adventure. It's made in Rust and originally inspired by [Chesapeake's Inventory](https://github.com/mothdotmonster/inventory).

## Installation
### 1) Cargo (Recommended)
Make sure Rust is installed, along with `cargo`, Rust's package manager.
```
$ cargo install vento
```
### 2) Manually
Clone the repository using `git`.
```
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/nixgoat/vento.git && cd vento
```
### 2.a) cargo-make
This install method additionally installs the manpages for Vento. Make sure Rust, `cargo` and `cargo-make` are installed.
```
$ cargo make install
```
### 2.b) Cargo
Make sure Rust is installed, along with `cargo`, Rust's package manager.
```
$ cargo install --path .
```
## Quick Start
After installing, run:
```
$ vento -i
```
This will create a `.vento` folder in your home directory, which will store your inventories. Some basic commands include:
```
// listing files in the currently active inventory
$ vento
// switching inventory slots
$ vento -c
// taking a file or directory
$ take <file|directory>
// dropping a file or directory
$ drop <file|directory> [destination]
```
For additional documentation, you can check the documentation for each command by running the following.
```
$ (command) -h
```
Or, if Vento was installed through `cargo-make`, check the manpages by running:
```
$ man (command)
```
