Lucky command

[pablopunk]

So, when I install apps, like 90% of the times I know I'm gonna install the one that appears in the first result of mas search. That's why I always wanted a I'm feeling lucky feature.

Basically, it's a new command that searches an app name and installs the first result.

$ mas lucky twitter
==> Downloading Twitter
==> Installed Twitter

EDIT
As a workaround, you can use this

The tests are failing because the build process doesn't find xcpretty. Travis is not configured to have this so I guess I shouldn't commit here the fix for this.

Build is fixed in #91

This repo isn't maintained very often is it?

[phatblat]

Nope. I reached out to @rodionovd a few weeks ago via email and offered help, but I haven't received a response.

[pablopunk]

Oh, I was thinking about doing that... I think there would be a lot of people interested in collaborate on this

[phatblat]

I'm tempted to try to release from a fork but I don't know what the process is for changing ownership of a brew formula

@pablopunk @phatblat

I'm sooo sorry that I haven't reached back to you folks — it's been a few crazy months for me but I'm back now and will go through all of the issues/PRs within next few days.

I really appreciate your patience and your hard work on those PRs ❤️ You're awesome!

This doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. If anyone is interested on this feature, what I do is having this function on my ~/.bash_profile:

function masl {
  mas search $1 | head -n1 | awk '{print $1;}' | xargs mas install
}

And then use it like:

$ masl Twitter

@pablopunk the master branch has been updated to Swift 4 and after merging into your branch there are a couple of syntax errors. Could you fix those up so that I can merge this PR? Thanks!

[pablopunk]

@phatblat nice! I will do it

[phatblat]

Thanks, @pablopunk! This new command will go out in 1.4

[pablopunk]

@phatblat Awesome! Almost a year later 😄. I see you took over this repo, nice.

BTW I have no idea about Swift, I coded this basically copying Install and Search commands, so now it's only duplicated code. It works but it should be refactored to prevent code duplication.

[phatblat]

Could have fooled me! No worries about the duplicated code. I'll be doing some refactoring soon, but wanted to get the great features that have been waiting a long time into this great project.
