qdbg

Quick debug tool - a general purpose CLI debugging utility

Introduction

Eliminate the wasted clicks and keystrokes involved with copying your error messages into a search bar. qdbg does this tedious task for you (and we know you do it a lot 😉). Simply run any command, and when your program inevitably fails, qdbg will automatically open a search tab for you.

qdbg <cmd>

In the unlikely event that your program runs successfully, qdbg will stay out of your way.

Requirements

• A developer that runs faulty programs
• Python 3.7+
• Linux or OSX operating system
