							<p>Glyph relies on <a href="http://davetron5000.github.com/gli/"><span class="caps">GLI</span></a> for defining commands. This useful library provides a high-level framework for creating command-line interface similar to <a href="http://git-scm.com/">Git</a>, its <span class="caps">DSL</span> takes care of pretty much everything, from managing command line arguments and options to providing an interactive help system.</p>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="h_96">Creating a 'glyph generate' command</h1></header>
<p>Consider the custom task defined in <a href="/glyph/book/extending/task.html#custom_generate_task">Creating a &#8216;custom:generate&#8217; task</a>. Creating a custom command to call it is fairly straightforward.</p>
<p>First of all, create a <code>lib/commands</code> folder in your project directory. Then, create a <code>.rb</code> file within it, e.g. <code>commands.rake</code>.</p>
<p>Finally, here&#8217;s the source of the command:</p>
	<div class="CodeRay">
  <div class="code"><pre><span class="no"> 1</span> <span class="co">GLI</span>.desc <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">Generates a specific file required for Glyph releases</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>
<span class="no"> 2</span> arg_name <span class="s"><span class="dl">&quot;</span><span class="k">file_name</span><span class="dl">&quot;</span></span>
<span class="no"> 3</span> command <span class="sy">:generate</span> <span class="r">do</span> |c|
<span class="no"> 4</span>   c.action <span class="r">do</span> |global_options,options,args|
<span class="no"> 5</span>     <span class="r">if</span> args.blank? <span class="r">then</span>
<span class="no"> 6</span>       raise <span class="co">RuntimeError</span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">&quot;</span><span class="k">You must specify a file to generate</span><span class="dl">&quot;</span></span>
<span class="no"> 7</span>     <span class="r">else</span>
<span class="no"> 8</span>       <span class="co">Glyph</span>.run <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">custom:generate</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>, args[<span class="i">0</span>]
<span class="no"> 9</span>     <span class="r">end</span>
<span class="no"><strong>10</strong></span>   <span class="r">end</span>
<span class="no">11</span> <span class="r">end</span></pre></div>
</div>

	<p>That&#8217;s it. If you try to run <code>glyph help</code> within your project directory, notice that there&#8217;s a new entry for the generate command:</p>
	<div class="CodeRay">
  <div class="code"><pre><span class="no"> 1</span> $ glyph help
<span class="no"> 2</span> =====================================
<span class="no"> 3</span> Glyph v.0.4.1
<span class="no"> 4</span> =====================================
<span class="no"> 5</span> usage: glyph command [options]
<span class="no"> 6</span> 
<span class="no"> 7</span> Options:
<span class="no"> 8</span>     -d, --debug - Enable debugging
<span class="no"> 9</span> 
<span class="no"><strong>10</strong></span> Commands:
<span class="no">11</span>     add      - Add a new text file to the project
<span class="no">12</span>     compile  - Compile the project
<span class="no">13</span>     config   - Get/set configuration settings
<span class="no">14</span>     generate - Generates a specific file required for Glyph releases
<span class="no">15</span>     help     - Shows list of commands or help for one command
<span class="no">16</span>     init     - Create a new Glyph project
<span class="no">17</span>     outline  - Display the document outline
<span class="no">18</span>     stats    - Display statistics
<span class="no">19</span>     todo     - Display all project TODO items</pre></div>
</div>

	<p>You can now run the Glyph command as expected:</p>
	<div class="CodeRay">
  <div class="code"><pre><span class="no">1</span> $ glyph -d generate changelog
<span class="no">2</span> -- Generating CHANGELOG...
<span class="no">3</span> -- Done.</pre></div>
</div>
