I re-implemented ls to query the Steam API
gamels: never be confused about Steam appid direcroties againToday, I released a new command-line tool called gamels
.
Linux gamers may be familiar with digging around the copmpatdata
and shadercache
directories in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps
. This is a tedious task that involves lots of googling, since Steam names game-specific directories after the game's application id.
gamels
solves this problem by querying the Steam API to see if any directory names match known app ids. If so, the name of the corresponding game is shown in the listing.
Installation instructions and source code are available on GitHub.
